[David Stinson]

If you take it to a ham radio club or hamfest,
she's going to get 10-cents on the dollar value, if that.

Hi gang -
Not too surprisingly, my www.navy-radio.com site tends to collect
folks searching for info on Navy radios. This fellow sent mail
concerning his dad's collection of WW2 military radio gear in Tucson.
He's looked at ebay prices, but thinks a local hamfest, club, or
collector may be the best way to go.

I'll forward mail to him if you have suggestions or think you can help
- I don't know more than this and have no connection other than a
desire to see good old stuff end up in good new hands...
cheers,
Nick K4NYW
