[NJARC] Re: Catalin Auction in NYC

[JOE CRO]

Ray,John,
               I concur with the both of you. It's what's inside that 
counts.Caitlins, although they may be very pretty or artistic, they just 
don't "float my boat", so to speak of. To each his own, and I do respect the 
opinions of the people among our group who admire them.

They do, however, make good trading fodder for SX-28's, NC-200's, a 
"ANGRY5", R-390-A", and maybe even a nice Breting or Sargent comm rx to say 
the least! I don't own a Caitlin, bit I wish I did -).

Best Regards and a very joyous holiday filled with more old comm 
receivers+transmitters, a few 1920's superhets, and even a nice caitlin or 
two thrown in for good measure for trading fodder!
                                                                             
               Joe Cro N3IBX
