[Milsurplus] Fwd: Seen at Fair Radio this AM

[Mark K3MSB]

Hi Nick

I was there this morning also.  I would categorize the prices as some
reasonable, but mostly high.    I may have been looking at different items
than you were though, and of course YMMV.....

They had a number of nice looking TCS transmitters and receivers, and the
average price was $325 a piece.

Most of the ARC-5 stuff was not in the best of shape, and there were only a
few ham band units.   Average price was $95.

There was a BC-456 modulator with no dynamotor for $275.

They had a ratty looking BC-652 receiver for (I think) $275.

They had several ART-13's, but none of them looked very nice, and I didn't
look at the prices.

I looked at a few R-390A's and there were in the $700 range.

I took a bunch of photos and will post them on the web tomorrow.

They had a PP-4763 28V/50A power supply there;  I've seen it in their
on-line catalog for a LONG time.   I asked the price and it was $295.   I
thought that was high, and said I could probably build one for less.   The
counter guy just shrugged.   Well, it can hold the floor down for another
10 years I guess....

Have fun at Dayton.   I was attending a friend's funeral in Indianapolis,
and thought I'd cheer myself up with maybe a goodie or two from Fair
Radio,  but all my cash left the building with me.
