Hi Gang,

Here is an update.  I received the following email from Steve.....

Palmer, PA is next door to EASTON PA on the Delaware river!    Not in
West PA.

My DeLorme map search for Palmer pointed to the western part of 
Pennsylvania.  I now see there is a "Palmer Heights" near Easton, perhaps 
that is it?  It would have been good if he gave me the complete name the 
first time.

Update - I received several photos from Steve.  Nothing was even a little 
interesting in the photos.  The radios looked like real junkers, without 
knobs and they all had beat up cabinets.  The tubes in the TV type caddies 
looked like TV tubes.  He says there is more than what shows.  Caviet Emptor.

Hi Gang,

Here is a bunch of radios, paper and tubes in Palmer, PA.  Palmer is 
located in western Pennsylvania, near Lake Erie, between Cleveland and 
Buffalo.  Please contact Steve directly.......

Here are his two emails.....

I found your email address off the Internet and felt you might want to know 
about the contents of a self-storage unit I bought at public sale last 
week...    It is in Palmer, PA and is a 10x20 unit which is about waist 
deep in old radios, TV's and thousands of tubes...   I don't know one from 
another but they must have come from an old Radio/TV shop as there is lots 
of vintage test equipment and one of those Zenith carrying cases the 
serviceman would bring into your home and put a new tube in your TV 
set...    I need to dispose of this units contents ASAP.     I did take 
some digital photos of the antique radios....   what do you 
think?     Maybe you can point me to a local collector if you know of 
any.   there are also lots of old radio parts etc...porcelain insulators, 
etc...

** 2nd email with photos....  (You will have to request the photos from 
Steve....)

Besides these pictures there are MANY old clock radios, Sony betamaxes, 
vintage Sony trinitron TVs, crates of manual, paperwork, re-built TV 
tuners, a couple very old (I am guessing the '30s) oscilloscopes and other 
test equipment.    I am looking for a lump-sum buyer of the unit 
contents.   There are a HUGE # of tubes and spare parts.
