Thanks to all who have contacted me.  I think I've replied to everyone, 
but if I overlooked your inquiry, please let me know.

I cannot stress enough the significant bonuses or substantial discounts, 
commensurate with the volume purchased, that I am willing to make for 
anyone who picks up the equipment at my home in Madison, Wisconsin and 
saves me the hassle of packing and shipping.  I really want this 
equipment out of my way and into the hands of other enthusiasts within 
the next couple weeks.  Time and effort are my dominant concerns, 
otherwise I would do this piece by piece on eBane and focus on making money.

This has been further reinforced because the UPS Store Pack and Ship 
service has not worked out.  At the store Monday, I was billed $58 more 
than the website calculator told me to expect for shipping one 18 lb 
item.  That's appalling and completely unworkable.  And don't bother to 
try and get an explanation, let alone redress, from the UPS humans who 
hide behind robo answers and 25+ minute hold times.

On the updated list below, all the sold and paid items have been 
removed.   I also added a couple items that have turned up as I churn 
through the shelves of gear.  It also contains changes to descriptions 
and prices because I am now testing things.  If the item works, the 
price creeps up, for the few items that don't, the prices have been 
slightly reduced.

I've received a number of inquiries on the Pan-Man RS-160 system and 
components which I mentioned but are not on the list.  They are only for 
sale if you want to pick them up at my home in Madison, Wisconsin AND 
take a whole lot of stuff off my hands in a big lot. There is about 12 
feet of rack space worth of these units.  I also have an extensive 
collection of manuals for this equipment.  This weekend I hope to unbury 
and test the search (RS-160) and handoff (RS-158?) system that is 
assembled and used to work years ago.   I will not sell this assembled 
system separately from the rest of the related equipment.

Best,
