[Milsurplus] Military Radios - LA County Estate - auction or scrap?

[Bruce Gentry]

I would be interested in restoring the BC-639s and 640s.  The 
transmitters would need to have shielding,  bypassing, and filters on 
the output added, but with digital and cable TV today, the chances of 
bothering anyone are greatly reduced. Of course, as usual, they are 
thousands of miles away and may be hopelessly snarled in paperwork.  
PLEASE be sure to have a valid will so our hoards of stuff can be sold 
or given away instead of being snarled and trashed.
