[Milsurplus] Dayton, Friday

[Ray Fantini]

Today the weather was great, not a comment you can often make in regards to Dayton. At 0630 it was clear and around fifty five degrees and by 1030 was in the mid seventies. The crowd was about average for a Friday morning but thinned out by noon possibly due to the high temperatures around eighty three and the bright sunshine, there were no clouds.
I was tied up at my truck until around nine thirty so did not see every deal but this is some of what I saw. BC-348 receivers, at least six for sale starting at $50 all the way up to $125.00 in various condition, ART -13 transmitters at $400.00, $250 (two at that price) and parts transmitters for $35.00, R-390 and 390A receivers at $500, $550, $650,$800 (two) and $1,100.00, R-388 receivers $300 and $500, 51J4 receiver $500, TMC GRP-90 receiver for $500, Collins 51S1 for $750, R-392 receivers for $350 and T-195 transmitter for $375, complete clean TCS set of TX, RX , Books, cables and dyno deck for $500 with well used TCS RX for $35 and TX for $50, saw first thing in the morning a Navy MAK with shock mount and connectors that looked unused for $100 and very clean RAS (HRO) with power supply, coil box and speaker with all matching numbers for $395, couple SRR-13 receivers one for $300 and the other had no price on it, URR-35 receivers for $50 each, RDZ and MBF for $50, RAB or is it RBA TRF LF receiver for $250 and a PRD-1 direction finding system, complete with all transit cases for $500, newer stuff like Cubic 3030 receiver for $1,000, a huge Sunair RT-9000 with LPA 9600 kW amplifier for $7,500 and lots of AM-6154 amplifiers in the $250 price range. There was also the complete PRC-47 field kit with a ratty PRC-47 but all the trays and accessories including things like the back frame , legs and antenna that was a make offer deal. I did not make an offer myself being that had all ready spent money on a Harris URC-94 that I bought this morning. Only saw two different people selling ARC-5 radios and junk sets, looks like the supply is drying up also saw many of the regular dealers that were selling there PRC-10, RT-68, PRR/PRT-9, GRC-9 and other stuff that are always here. 
I will be posting more tomorrow.
