[Boatanchors] Boatanchors at Texas City Hamfest 2013

[Charlie , W5COV]

WOW why do I never see any of these goodies for prices like this at the 
very limited number of hamfests in my area and the ones I am fortunate 
enough to attend .

I sure would have given you some competition on the Gonset twins :) I 
did buy a G-66B recently , but would certainly like to have a spare and 
I am really looking hard to find a G-77A with or without PS/modulator to 
go with it .

A Multi Elmac AF-54 project at the right price likely wouldn't be turned 
down either . Love the compact line of tube rigs and I have a 1959 Ford 
now that I want to put an AM mobile station in . I guess even a spare or 
parts PMR or about any model Multi Elmac product project for the right 
price would be considered too , even basket cases and parts radios would 
be considered .
