[Hallicrafters] OT: GSB 100 opinions

[Al Parker]

Hi Andy,
    Boy it was beautiful wx up your way a week ago!  We were up visiting
Mother in W. Chatham, thought abt you, didn't have much time for other
than chores, didn't even get out on the water.
    Anyhow, I haven't seen any responses to you, hope you got some.  If
the GSB-100 has been in operation recently, $150 is a reasonable price.
The Gonset rigs have a history of burning up the pwr xfmr.  I have a
GSB-101 amp with a replacement xfmr.  I was asking the same question a yr
ago, had a line on a -100 to match with it, and got some replies from the
VSB buddies.  Didn't save them, but as I remember, they said it is a good
rig, remembering the xfmr.  I passed on it, the owner had no idea of the
condx, plus I was a little space constrained (it's big).
    I've got my Invader 2000 ready, with the SX-101A, for tmw, CX.  Hope
to make a few QSO's.
