[Boatanchors] NCX-3: part out or sell whole?

[Bob Groh]

'... on the curb...' ??  Heck, Dave, I feel bad enough about potentially
scrapping it out!!

Sort of just kidding. But that is probably where, if I part it out, the
remains will go. I wonder if the case is the same as the NCX-5??  I already
have one ham who has an interest in the front panel. Plus there is 18 tubes
in there. And the variable caps and the knobs.

Just back from taking pictures and will put a picture folder in the 'Files'
section.
