[Boatanchors] Where are all the Dayton Flea Market reports?

[WA9VRH Larry]

Hi Scott and all,

Well I think the shock of a dry Dayton is having a large effect on everyone!
If I wasn't there I would have never believed it!

There were lots of BA equipment there this year.
There was an estate from a 4 land person that supposedly his wife was
dealing with (who was also a ham) (if anyone knows more details please post)
This guy had a ton of stuff mostly Collins but everything from SP600 to a
Harvey Wells TBS-50D.  Prices were pretty much in line with averages on most
of the equipment with the Collins being maybe a little high.

I saw a number of SP600's from oh I think it was $150.00 ea for a couple to
more regular going prices. Lots of Drake TR-4 series and TR-7 series.
An NCX-3, NCX-5, and couple of NCL-2000's.  Two HRO-500's one working the
other the synthiser (sp) would not lock up for I think it was $450.00 to
$500.00.  Also the LF device for $500.00.

Lots of Hallicrafters stuff in all kinds of shape.  Even a MutliElmac or two
was spotted.  There was also an Eico 753 transceiver but no 720's or 730's
that I saw.  There were a couple of Hallicrafters HT-40's and SX-140's and
an Echophone or two.  There was a lack of RME equipment. (something I am
interested in since I have lived in the Peoria Il area for a long time)

There were also a few Gonset G-76's WITH AC power supplies. Also the 2m and
6m versions of the Gonsets. Missing where the G-66 and G-77's along with the
Gonset Sidewinders.

Also a few pieces of Swan equipment but not many.

Well that's it from my memory. Probably would be able to think of more but I
am sure others saw more.

Dayton as always will be Dayton. They announced once again they are NOT
moving and I for one believe it to be true for at least a couple of years.
There is no doubt that Dayton is the place to find it.

Some of the prizes I brought home were a G-76 and G-76 AC power supply, a
broadcast station console, a bunch of parts, a pretty much empty cooler,
(insert the stuff of your choice inside) and a Great Time!

I'm really surprised that there haven't been any Dayton Flea market reports
like in years past.  Did alot of people stay home this year?  I always look
forward to hearing about what you saw at the flea market, prices, cool
stuff.  Just curious.
