Hello NJARC Group, 

I have a "casual" interest in old radio and have been subscribed to the email list for a several years......I did join the club approx 1 year ago but health and life issues have kept me from attending meetings so far, but hope to get to some at Infoage in future. 

Anyway, I have an old Weston Model 771 tube tester (photos attached) that I acquired at either Atkinson & Smith in Eatontown or up at Cortland St. (Radio Row, NYC) back in the 60s. It hasn't been powered up for probably 40 years or so , so I suppose it will need re-capping at least before being functional. I'll probably never need it and I'm at the age I need to start "downsizing" and disposing of stuff as I approach retirement. 

So before going the ebay route, I'm wondering if any NJARC members want it.? I don't have a clue as to its value but I suppose $20.00 would do it....I can deliver it to a meeting at Infoage. 

I also have a Hallicrafters S20R Sky Junior, in really bad cosmetic condition but could be a good restoration project. I think I recall reading the club has occasional fund raising auctions and I intend to donate the S20r to the club for that purpose. 

Anyone wanting the tube tester, send me an email. 

Regards & Seasons Greetings to all, 

Rich Ardolino K2CPE
