Hi Ken, et.al,

I find it interesting that this TCK-4, with no tubes and in weathered 
condition, generates so much interest.  On the other hand, perhaps the only 
surviving GO-6, in decent condition and with tubes, generates no interest at 
all.  Maybe I should post the eBay number to this list, although it was 
offered here with no responses prior to putting it on eBay.  Oh well, it 
isn't getting mouldy.

73,
George
