[Hammarlund] Ultimate receiver??

[Heinz Breuer DH2FA]

Regarding the Rohde @ Schwarz EK07 I have about 8-10 in various 
condition which I bought for my friend Hank Arney KN6DI in Texas. He 
used to repair and restore these and resold them to the ham community. 
Unfortunately Hank broke his hips repeatedly and now lives in a medical 
care unit. He can no longer work on these receivers.
I had an arrangement with Hank he got these at what I paid to get them 
no profit no handling - rien nada niente. In return he stored and packed 
my toys I bought on various lists and eBay USA.

If anybody is interested I am eager to sell these receivers. I have them 
in storage for years already hoping that Hank's condition would improve. 
I would prefer to sell these receivers in a bundle deal. I do have 
pallet size metal shipping boxes ex German army. Shipment via seafreight 
is quite cheap. I currently have a last shipment inbound which Hank's 
sister arranged. About 8 cubic meters (approx. 300 cubic feed), probably 
2-3 tons. As a hint seafreight for this is about $1000. Local transport 
to and from port is each more than the seafreight itself.

I can also throw in a few Siemens E311 and Russian 250M if anybody wants 
to have these as well. Probably some other German boatanchors 
(Telefunken and Siemens 'Rainbow', Lorenz etc.) as well. Let alone a 
couple premium receivers Telefunken E1500, E1800/3 and E1800A, also 
Rhode @ Schwarz EK47, EK56/4 but this is the wrong forum for that sand 
state stuff.

I am not a dealer but a collector with just too many toys and will sell 
these at my cost. If somebody lives not too far from a major seaport and 
could pick up the shipment I would drive the boxes to Bremerhaven myself 
to avoid the expensive local transportation.
