[R-390] radios at trash sites

[Dave Maples]

All: All I want to know is what trash bins you guys frequent.  I never see
anything like that in the dumpster, but maybe I'm not looking closely
enough.

At our landfill we have a "Too Good to Throw Away" spot that gets furniture,
computers, etc., and I have made very good use of this in the past.  Never
did see any vintage gear show up in it, though.

Just pulled a 1931 Philco cathedral from the trash. It restored nicely and
is playing in my office as I type this. Also got a TS-520S. A friend got to
the same dumpster a day before I did and he pulled a 75A2, and NC-98, and a
Globe Scout 680 from it!

I'll share a true story with you guys, in the late 70's I had a hammerlund
HQ215, solid state rx and sold it around 1980, my neighbor who collects old
records goes to grage sales every saturday, about 5 years ago he came home
and told me about a couple of ham radios he seen at a grage sale and since
it was not too far I decided to go look, you gussed it there was my HQ215 in
nice condition and with a price tag of $25.00.  It came home with me, you
never know...
