[NJARC] Looking to borrow/rent old microphones and audio gear

[n3ibx]

Dave,
        I have a basement full of the stuff and could lend you some of my 
"work in progress" pieces including a control console from a radio station. 
I could probably fill the bill for an early 1930's communications laboratory 
or radio station with some items that look very "Frankensteinesque".

My only requirement is that someone(s) come over to pick up the stuff and 
carry it out of my basement; and return it to my basement "Hamshack" when 
finished. I could physically help with some of the lighter items, but 
would'nt be able to with some of the heavier stuff due to a physical problem 
that is currently being addressed.

My motto is: "The older and bigger it is, the better it will work"!

Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
                                                              Regards,
