> Not any more! I made arrangements to pick up the entire collection which I did on Friday evening. Special thanks to Greg Miller K2GTM for making the group aware of this collection and putting me in direct contact with Joe Boyd. The collection belonged to his deceased uncle. Warren Boyd, Joe’s father was onsite when I arrived. Warren wanted me to take anything I wanted to help them facilitate cleaning out his brother house. Within 20 minutes after arriving Joe and Warren had about 6 other people come over to help move and load the equipment. I was more or less a traffic director and did very little moving or lifting of all the goodies. We staged all the equipment on the front porch and then moved my truck into position and everything was loaded in a matter of minutes.

There was a whole room of various radios and associated equipment, some of which I would have liked to take with me, but my truck was already completely full including the crew cab. There was also quite a few nice pieces of vintage HP and Tektronix test equipment. The lesson learned here is to always take the trailer because you just never know how much you will find at the location, or possibly along the way.

I was *this close* to bringing home the 35 ASR but it would have added another 6 hours onto a cross country trip and transport room was at a premium. I get the feeling the seller is motivated and his pricing seems very fair to me. Contact him directly to save these gems!
