It's time to lose some weight.

I'm planning to have some items at Ham-Com from my personal collection,
including some from the "can't find a round to-it" restoration queue.  No
indoor table, just look around the outdoor fleamarket as long as it isn't
raining.  Pricing and sales at Ham-Com only.

SX-28 -- complete, good looking, cabinet.  Emminently restorable, and
begging to be restored.

Drake R-7 -- Full filter complement with a 6 Khz AM filter in the 300 Hz
filter slot.  The 300 Hz filter is also included.  Noise blanker.  9++
condition.  Works well.  Receiver manuals and Drake Service Manual (all
originals).

Drake TR-5/PS-75 -- 9++ condition.  Late serial.  Thoroughly gone through,
working fine on all bands.  No CW filter (but available from INRAD).
Original manuals.

Drake 2-A -- nice looking and works.  Needs some minor internal cleanup
(e.g., DeOxit on the tube socket pins, etc.) 

Drake 2-B/2-BQ -- Very nice radio.  Working well.

Drake C-Line -- late serials, as fine a condition as you will find outside
of finding NIB radios.  Includes MS-4 and AC-4.  Receiver has all of the
Sherwood electrical mods (no Sherwood filter mods), 6 Khz INRAD GUF-1 filter
in the first IF.  ALL filters (AM, SSB, RTTY, Wide CW, Narrow CW).
Transmitter is stock.  Original Drake cables.  RFE-100 digital display --
needs some work, but works.  Original manuals.  Custom felt covers for
T4X-C, R4-C and MS-4.  All original manuals.  I won't split this up and
won't give it away.

Drake FS-4 -- Works fine, same beautiful condition as the C-Line.  Original
manual.  Prefer to sell with the C-Line, but will consider selling
separately.

RME-6900 -- Works, VG++ to E physically, needs electrical restoration and
alignment to be 100%.  

C-E 100V -- Fully restored and 100% operational.  Outstanding condition.
PTO rebuilt by Nick Tusa, so it's silky smooth.  Includes the 160M Kit
(uninstalled), new correct replacement filter cap cans (uninstalled), and
transmit relay coil (spare), all obtained from Nick Tusa.  

National HRO-500 -- Works, needs electrical restoration and alignment.
Synth locks and receiver functions on all ranges (although the "lock" light
does not work properly).  Physically an 8.  Very restorable and not a
beater.  75-series.

HQ-110A -- basically works, needs the usual TLC (re-capping, etc.).

Probably some more stuff, too.  Still pondering how much weight to lose.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Ham-Com.
