Two are not working, the third might be working. I've got cables and manuals galore. - An old-er 2.5amp Pyramid Regulated P/S model PS-3K. belongs to a buddy who tells me it keeps blowing the 1.5-amp chassis fuse. - A RadioShack 7-Channel Weather Alert receiver. It receives but does not alert. If interested please contact me via e-mail at n9dko at arrl.net . I'd prefer to give all of this to one person but will split. Pickup only or I can meet you somewhere. If no takers soon it's all going into recycle. I'm in Wheaton, IL, west suburban Chicago. '73, rich, n9dko I'd start lifting weights...but i figure if something's heavy it must be nature's way of telling me not to pick it up. _________________________________ From ormos at ripco.com Tue Apr 21 15:06:52 2015 From: ormos at ripco.com (Neil R.
