[NJARC] Is anyone interested in a Atwater Kent model 55 with speaker?

[David Sica]

I got the same inquiry through the club's Facebook page two days ago. They
are definitely giving it way for free.  I advised them to reply with an
email address or phone number so someone could get back to them, but never
heard back.
