[GreenKeys] Fwd: 1950's vintage Amateur Radio Station - $60 (Windsor, VT vicinity)

[Pete Lancashire]

looks like two great saves this week !!

but here's one that didn't make it

Saturday I took a pickup load of scrap to my local scrapper. Sitting
on the bed of one of his a trucks ready to go to the big scrap yard
which has ships waiting to go to China was banded crushed mixed steel,
on it one could see the compressed remains of a 28 ASR. Sigh ...
