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,
