[Boatanchors] Radio Collectors, Father Time and "Basket Cases"

[rbethman]

I must confess that I am also insane.

I'll be completely going through an old AN/URM-25.

It is going to get a complete refurb as Kiss Electronics *used* to do.

I got a complete parts list, instructions, and all from Connie. I've 
collected ALL the components.

So as soon as my workbench gets clear, coming late this month, I'm 
digging in.

There have been a small number of these "antiques" that have developed 
into a line of "got to get to it" things.

However, family issues of one kind or another have kept this from happening.

I "may" have to let an SX-101 MkIII that is sick, and an HT-32A(?) go to 
someone close.  It's all depending on the verdict of the Dr. that I'm 
visiting on the 14th or 15th.  Back issues have finally stuck up their 
ugly head.
