[Boatanchors] Hosstraders fall '05

[flood at Krohne.com]

Greetings,

Todd seemed to have it all listed here.  Somehow I thought I saw a few 
more 75A4's Guess some of the locals decided that heat and gasoline are 
more important this winter.  Both the seller and I missed out on the 
Superpro and power supply.  I, like Todd, robbed the bank and went up 
Friday AM.  I had one mission in the acquisition department, find a power 
supply for the Superpro I got from Todd back in the spring.  It was just 
around the corner from where I setup and came with a bonus radio!  I went 
back to collect money from some of my Items that sold and when I came back 
it was gone.  Todd poured salt in my wounds when he told me later that it 
sold for only $40.00!  I probably would have paid the asking price of 
$100.00 if I met any resistance in haggling with the seller as the tag 
said  "works".  Yes there are often power supplies on the "E"vil place but 
I'd rather give more money  to a seller than to a freight company!   Todd, 
who purchased that again?.... Wonder if he would sell it?  For that matter 
anyone in the MA/NH/RI area have one looking for a new home? 

I didn't get to look around much as I had loads of "Junque" to get rid of 
myself.  I made a visit to the AM corral and then went back to my table. I 
set up elsewhere, as other than loads of high voltage caps I didn't have 
anything that "fit" in the AM corral (that turned into a lake Saturday AM 
so I was told).  It was good to say hi to the usual suspects.  I picked up 
4 rolls of "Real" solder at $4.00/lb. I'm still working on a 1 pound spool 
I got a few years ago but am worried that it may get as hard to find as 
ballast tubes!  I just hope the EPA doesn't find out about my stash. Along 
with that I picked up a few cans of deoxit and some novus plastic polish. 
Came home with extra cash but no heavy metal :(
