Subject: [HBR] HBR-8 availability and pricing
Message-ID: <CAKVLtWMMmvG2rFGLtaFCHa3Jp3JM19_09ipGNL0Q8Y1rNkzyGg@mail.gmail.com>

To all,

Been a while since I posted anything, and I'm really not a member of the
club (yet).  To be honest, I'd rather find an HBR-8 that needs TLC than to
start a project from scratch.  Life activities seem to be more conducive to
working through debugging than starting up chassis work.  Does anyone know
about what the going rate might be if I'm lucky to find one?

Regards,
Stan

To all,

A lead has surfaced on an HBR-16, and I'm hoping to see pictures soon.  I
know configurations can vary, particularly with respect to the dial, as
well as the condition.  Can any of you provide any price range guesstimates
on this receiver?  I would like to make an offer that is not insulting,
doesn't hurt my piggy bank unnecessarily, and (if possible) would have both
of us happy.

Stan? The price is all over the place OM, I do think the prices are going down tho.? I lost on two HBRs via ebay when they went for over $400.00...? I personally would be bidding a little lower then you'd think it was worth, the Eddystone dial can add 100 to the value, and of course craftsmanship adds to the price.? I've seen a couple go for less then 100 and two went for free, so as I said, the prices are all over the place.??? ?If it does not have excellent workmanship or that eddystone dial, I'd start real low in the offering.? But that us your choice fella, if someone else is interested, that might add fuel to the flame.? I guess totally blind here, offer 50 or so, and one way if you want to avoid embarrassing situations, then just ask what's the lowest price you'd take for it.? ?Another valuable point, us the set of coils, if you have to buy and construct them, it can add up fast too.??? ?I know this is vague, but right now, neither you or we have much to go on.? : )? but hope that these ideas at least help out a little.? Good luck on the purchase.? ?I too have one in mind, but the money has been short here for a few months.??73Bill. KE9XQ?

Bill,

Thank you very much for your response.  I truly do appreciate it.

>> I know this is vague, but right now, neither you or we have much to go
on.  : )

I have more to go on now, including pictures and it has the Eddystone
dial.  I've made an offer considerably north of $50 and waiting to see how
that goes over.  I like the workmanship, though this isn't one of the
showpieces featured on some pages.  If the deal goes through, I will have
the cover sandblasted and painted, as well as looking for some different
control labeling.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Ok guys and gals, just because I've been lazy of late does not give you license to sit around.? I am only writing this to see if you are still kicking and hopefully in relatively good health.
How are the projects going, any activity of late at all ???? At the moment my building is haulted?because of 40/11 things going on, but one excuse I guess is as good as another : )
Also, while we are at it here,? has anyone wound coils for other bands or purposes???
Then too, seen any HBRs around of late.? I've never seen one yet at the half a dozen hamfests I've gone to over the last couple years.? ?Would be nice to pick one up for 25 to 50 bucks.? : )
I'm still interested in one offered to me a couple months ago but lost the gents email address.? While I don't have the money quite yet, if you remind me shortly, I do have a part time job coming up later in December I believe that should put a few sheckles in the pocket book again.? : )

WOW
I did that years ago:
http://www.learnmorsecode.com/regen/coilwinder/1plus1.jpg
http://www.learnmorsecode.com/regen/coilwinder/index.html
but I did not own an actual coil winder back then.

and
since then
I've collected LCDs and hall effect sensors and $4 ARDUINOs
so I went down that path.
