[Lafayette] Lafayette prices.

[Bob Macklin]

I have tried for several HE-10s. I tried placing a last minute reasonably 
high bid and was still out bid every time. I finally gave up.

I also tried for several HE-20s with the same results.

Somebody out there wants these things?  But they are also buying 
Hallicrafters JUNK!
