[Drake] Re: [SWL] WTB: Drake SW-8 with S/N 6AXXXXX or later

Original packaging? Just curious, do you know what that consisted of? I do, 
as I had one. Why would you want to pay anywhere from $50-$125 (depending on 
the greed of the seller) for the original packaging? I do "not" mean to 
sound rude or any such thing, it just blows my mind that people want to buy 
an old box, styrafoam pieces, foam peanuts and some plastic product wrapping 
and are willing to pay a lot of money to get them. I think I have thrown 
away some boxes that ended up being worth more than what came inside them! 
(LOL!)

Be patient Pete, as those who own these receivers seldom sell them. I may be 
mistaken, but I believe I have seen a post or two of yours over the past six 
weeks seeking the RX, right?

I will put the word out for you, if you give me permission, on the HCI 
(Hallicrafters Collectors International) Amateur Radio Nets that you are 
interested in purchasing one and the stated conditions. May I give your 
e-mail address over the air?

I hope you can find one Pete.

Best wishes,

Duane Fischer, W8DBF
