[Milsurplus] TRW Swap Meet

[Mike Feher]

Hi Mike -

VT-4s or 211s at $100 each, if good, are a bargain in today's market. The audio guys go nut over them, that is why most BC191/375's do not have them. I have been offered $250 each for the 211's in my essentially NOS BC-191. I still have it all complete, HI. 73 - Mike

Yes, TRW very disappointing these past few years.  They are now allowing in sellers with non-electronic items in an effort to increase stall occupancy. 
It's not working too well.  Also, sellers are required to pay for two spaces at $30 ($25 to the TRW radio club and $5 to the police dept.).  This pretty much locks out the small occasional seller who needs only one space for selling a few low priced items to hams who could use them.  Here are all the rules and regulations:

One guy had new looking VT-4 / 811 tubes that I could use for my BC-375, but at $100 each, no way.
