[Boatanchors] Ham Radio Estate Sales and Hamfest finds

[oldradio at comcast.net]

Some guys have all the luck.

I remember being first at an oldtimers car trunk opening as he was putting everything on the ground.  I grabbed a box of 01A's and started to go through them, looking for the best ones.  My friend walked up and looked in the still half full trunk and pulled out a National 1" scope, right over my head.  $10. the seller told him.

After I culled out about 5 tubes I asked for a price, $1 each or $5 for the box he said.  Of course I gave him the 5 and took the box, and then realized I had wasted my time, and lost a cool scope.  Look - grab - and ask.

So I plan to follow Carl and watch his every move.

He still can carry away only one receiver at a time, so then I'll make my move!  :-)

I don't know how much good that will do for you John.

I hear that you "somehow" need to PRECEDE Carl's passage!  Otherwise 
he's got everything worth having!
