Fw: Re: [HBR] What is it?

Amarillo, Texas is a long drive from Austin, Texas to check out a $10
radio. I just sold a homebrew VFO controlled AM transmitter with a pair
of 807s modulating a single 814 for $21 on ebay (terrible homebrew
construction) and it weighed 50-60 pounds. Great parts. The buyer drove
100 miles to come pick it up and was quite pleased. I threw in some other
heavy parts stuff to make him feel even better. If someone comes over to
get something driving a pickup, they usually drive off with a few extras
or I load stuff into my pickup and give the stuff away at the club
breakfast on Saturdays. What I can't give away I throw in the trash. You
never know what comes out of my shop as I "move it through". Have to go
check out two storage buildings on the 31st. which are supposed to have
"more MARS gear". Some of it is pure junk though. I hauled 6 pickup loads
out of that APN-16 radar trailer to the scrap yard ....about 3 tons. I
may have sent you a picture. What a job in the Texas heat and all for "no
charge", just helping out. It sure is fun to rummage through all that
vintage tube stuff regardless of condition (my opinion, wife says I'm
crazy/stupid can't decide which).

Hard to tell, but at the price, I'd get it and see. Then you can tell us
all.
