[SignalOne] Re: CX-11 and Speaker prices.

Um, yes.  Looks like CX-11's are pricey.  Don't know why
though.  I generally understand the collector mentality and Ham
Radio seems to be backwards from most collecting.

In Ham Radio, the last of the series is more valuable than the
first. 

SX-115 against SX-28 (I don't know the early radios)

32S-3A (one just sold for $4,000 on excessBay) vice 32S-1, is
it the grid block keying? 

HRO-500 and HRO-50

The later radios have a utility premium, newer design, improved
or younger components, better performance.  So it's not a
"collecting" thing, in the sense of weird Victorian era
furniture or useless depression era glass. 

The speaker prices makes no sense at all.  

These are not "good" speakers.  A Collins speaker for the 75A-4
just went for over $1,000 on the 'bay.  It's a metal box with a
60 year old speaker in it.  

I see 312B-3's selling for the same as the 312B-4.  

A Hallicrafters speaker is over $100?  It's a pretty bad 5
inch speaker.  I have one at my mom's house.  (I hope mom
didn't throw it out.)
