[ARC5] New Homes for Old Warriors

[Mark K3MSB]

Hi Dick



I’ve never purchased a tube radio that was ready to go; all required effort
to put on the air.   Some not a lot, some requiring months (or years in the
case of my SCR-274N).  Since I put effort into the radios I appreciated the
final result.



Who is going to appreciate and take care of your radios?   Someone that
gets a piece that they’ve been looking for to complete their own station or
someone that just bought a trophy radio?



How do you tell who’s worthy?   By their track record.    Do they talk the
talk or walk the walk?



I suppose the exception is a museum, but I’d be very leery of giving
anything to a museum.   The odds of you even getting to play with the
equipment in a museum setting is marginal at best,  if they even plan to
use it on the air.



BTW, things in your rear view mirror look closer than they actually are;
and I really hope that’s true for you OM !!
