I was thinking you would prefer the other type of thermometer, but now you
come up with a laser one instead. Go figure. (g)
I went a long time without any shields, so I agree. I only put those that
Chuck recommends because I had them sitting around. The only shields that I
leave on the SP-600 are the ones that attach to the chassis for support.
I'm too lazy to send you an off list message, so I'll add other comments
here. Got Sam Timberlake to meet me at the estate sale site after being
promised that people would be there. This was my second drive out there and
nobody was there. I talked to the auctioneer a few minutes ago, and the
story has changed again. Now, he has sealed bids on the stuff so making
offers on the spot is out of the question now. What a bunch of two faced
crooks. The auction website shows one R-390A, with the local gain knob
missing and a mysterious hole next to the headphones jack. I couldn't tell
if it were an owner mod or the Navy diode mod. There were 2 radios that are
either J2s or R-388s. I can't tell. Also, a KW1. And, a lot of teletype
gear. I didn't see any pics of test equipment, but I'm not going to waste
any more time with lying auctioneers.
