[Dave Harmon]

Hahaha…well…I was halfway kidding but if someone wants parts of it and the tubes are commonly used….why not?

'... 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.

Trying to reduce the # of radios I have on the shelf. One of them is a
National NCX-3.  Looks to be in decent shape, bought it 15 years or so ago
and never fired it up. I have looked at the specs, etc and it just doesn't
rock my boat so it is time to get it gone. Value is low and I hate, hate,
hate the trouble of shipping it (plus the cost of shipping would be higher
than the value of the radio). And, in any event, I doubt if the radio is
worth more than $30.

I can try selling it locally (i.e. NO shipping) but again the value is low
and doubt anyone would even want it.  Economically it might more sense to
strip out the items of value (e.g. sell all the tubes as a lot for $25, sell
all the knobs as a lot for ??? $10, etc) and then scrap the remainder.

Thoughts? Ideas?  Thanks for the opinions.
