It has always been harder to "pass along" big,
heavy
military radios. However, with the obscene
increases
in shipping costs and the rapid aging of the
mil-radio
community (with its decrease in disposable
income),
have we reached a "tipping point" where things
like ARC-2, RAK/RAL, the big Nationals and about
any other
set that comes in over 30 lbs will become almost
impossible
to move?
I have a nice, working/original (save one small
capacitor value increase) AN/ARC-2A with dyno and
30+ watts out (with 27V A+). Not the slightest
interest
within a couple of hundred miles. Have a solid
wooden
shipping crate for it, but is anyone really so
interested
as to pay the "king's ransom" needed to ship it?
And I've noted, on some of the local "trader"
nets,
that "big heavy" everything is getting harder
to "re-home." The last several hamfests I've
attended, most everything "heavyweight" went
back home with the owner, despite attractive
pricing in some cases.
Is "big/heavy" over? Will we be forced to send
the heavyweights to the scrap yard?
Your thoughts?

Davie,
Why don?t you try Greyhound? Their prices are still reasonable for radio-size and weight freight. They don?t treat freight harshly.
The downside is that shipments go to the recipient?s nearest full service Greyhound depot, and the freight has to be picked up from there. Likewise, the shipment has to be dropped off at the nearest full-service depot ? not just at a stop.

I didn?t get the idea that he was having trouble shipping it. I got the impression he was having trouble finding a buyer. I am sure greyhound would be a good solution if only there was someone willing to buy it.
