[Boatanchors] SCARS Auction

[Jim Hill]

The SCARS (Southern California Antique Radio Society) annual auction 
is scheduled for this coming Saturday, February 22, 2014 in the city 
of Orange in the Los Angeles - Orange county general 
area.  See  http://www.antiqueradios.org/events.html for details.

The greatest interest is in collectible BCB radios from the 20's (and 
some earlier up to recent times. However, there is collectible audio 
equipment and test equipment, both antique and for current 
use.  Magazines are usually there, and I managed to get some Short 
Wave Craft mag's from the 30's last time.  There are always some 
boatanchors.  I have seen Super Pro's,  SX28's, 51J's and various 
Nationals in recent auctions.  For sellers, it is a nice place to 
sell those boatanchors you have trouble moving as you get older 
without the shipping hassles.  Selling is more certain and prices 
better than at the TRW Swap meet.  For buyers, it is a good place to 
see a number of items in one place, with a good chance of some 
desirable radios.  It's hard to tell what will be there this year, 
but I can guarantee two items since I'm bringing them, a SP600JX 17. 
in poor shape and a PRO310 with manual in good shape.

You can come in and look around, but to buy or sell, you must be a 
member, which costs $20.  There's a membership table at the 
door.  Lunch is available for $5.00 for members.  It's a good lunch, 
worth much more than $5.00.   Forms, tags that go with each item and 
a summary sheet, can be downloaded.  If you have more than one or two 
items, be sure to download them.  If you buy and or sell, plan in 
being there all day.  Also, they are not set up for you to use your 
sale proceeds for buys.

Hope to see you there.
