[ForSale-Swap] Re: GB> FS: SX-115, Boatanchor Test Gear, Teletype TUs, HP 8640B

On Craigslist for the Los Angeles area a few weeks go I saw an ad that
included an SX-115, tower, many other receivers and transmitters and
miscellaneous other items all being sold as a package.  The 115 looked
pretty good from the picture that was with the ad.  I just wished I had seen
it earlier as it had been posted 3 days earlier.   And I wished that I lived
closer than 400 miles away!

And the whole package was $1300 or so...

I was tempted to see if I could contact him but figured by then the gear was
either sold or the prices raised to market rates.

If you are in the right place at the right time, you sometimes find a
bargain!

I hope somebody from this list saw that ad and took advantage of that
bargain!
