[Heathkit] SELL: Heath SB201 Dedicated 700w 6m Amplifier

[Grant Youngman]

Soooo, what difference does it make?  Who is hurt?  

If I restore Heathkit receivers, and post them here, and charge more than
what it cost me to do the restoration, does that make me "commercial" and
make my posts "unallowed"?  Am I allowed some number of For-Sale-for-Profit
posts before I'm declared to be "commercial"? If I just frequently sell
Heathkit gear for more than I paid for it, is that "commercial"?

Maybe someone out there is looking for a decent 6M amp.  I could see it if
this guy posted a "line" of conversions.  Or if there were 2 or 3 a day or
week, or I could drive by his storefront and buy a dozen.  I don't sense we
have a "Dave Made" situation here.  (Clearly I have no clue whether this amp
is a good one, or junk -- just to be clear, but I do have a feeling that it
isn't).

I'm not (really!, honest!) trying to be argumentative, but I'm puzzled, and
obviously must be missing the point.  

Maybe I just don't understand what "commercial" means.  I've sold quite a
number of restored radios (in other venues) -- a few for a handsome profit
(assuming my labor is worth about $4.23/hr).  I just happen to enjoy
restoring old junk, and if I can make a dime, great!  I charge real
"commercial" customers over $300/hour -- THAT'S commercial.  Don't think
that's happening here, unless the gent spent about 5 minutes doing the
conversion.  How many hours at YOUR labor rate would it take to convert a
200 to 6M?
