FYI.You might share this email with others in the midwest area?  Someone may
be interested.  Dumpsterizing it all would be a shame.   73, Jim

" Word has it that someone could offer Frank $2000 and take it all."

I am taking the liberty of forwarding Jim's message to the GB list in
hopes that someone in or near Omaha, Nebraska can do something
about this.

DO NOT e-mail Jim! He is simply forwarding the info on to us in the
BA/GB "society" in hopes that the stuff won't go to the dump!!!!!!

I'm not sure how appropriate this is for this forum, but I thought if
anyone would be able to take advantage of this, it would be one of you
guys.

Ladd Electronics in Omaha, NE, is closing down. At the age of 92,
Frank
Ladd has decided that it is time to retire. Like many such businesses
today, eBay and the internet have been killing his business.

Frank has a warehouse full of vintage parts and equipment, and he was
supposed to be out of the building last month. Time is getting
critical, and they're talking dumpsters now. I've heard quotes such as
"$20,000+ worth of stuff", "enough to keep somone busy on ebay for
years", and you're gonna need a barn". I have NO IDEA what he has in
there (so don't email me asking), but over the years I have seen
everything from Collins (there, back on topic), Galaxy, Heath, Swan,
Clegg, WRL, Drake, Johnson, you name it, in his store. Word has it that
someone could offer Frank $2000 and take it all. Below is an email fron
Rich WA0ZQG on the subject:

Hi Jim:
.
   It's getting pretty close to too late
to do anything aobut it I think.  The
DEADLINE was this past month but it's
been extended to hte end of the year.
Got to have the stuff OUT OF THERE by
then.  Sad situation for Frank I think.
.
   His telephone number is (402) 556.3023 at the store.
.
    signed,
     rich

I've got no affiliation with Frank, nor do I have the money or space to
take advantage of this, I would just hate to see it all go to the dump.


Pass the word.
