I have the following components to an old TMC wire antenna system and would liketo sell them, preferably as a package.  But I will entertain separate needs and makeup a list if there is enough demand.  I am researching as I have time to put some kind of value on them.  To a TMC enthusiast, it would seem they would be attractive. Anyway, if you are interested, contact me and be patient.  I am on "digest mode" and very busy right now.  My goal is to generate some gas funds for a hamfest trip or two as well as to get the components where they might be useful and appreciated. Somepictures are available and will be sent if requested.  These parts were part of eithertwo Rhombic antennas or one "V" shape antenna.
Please don't ask me "how much" at this point.  I don't know yet what is reasonableto ask.  The stuff might be worthless or it may be worth something.  Your own estimateis welcome.  I do need two or three 7' Bud IEEE open frame relay racks and wouldtrade for same.
One item below (the coax) is probably a pick up only.  All located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana about 3 miles off the I-10 E/W Interstate. 
Here is what I have:
(2 ea) TRK-500 TMC Antenna Balun boxes with 50 ohm input/100-200-600 ohm output (Each TRK-500 has a large RG-164 size female connector and the matching male connector is on it) (The female plate could be changed and an N style put on it) one is very nice, the other had a gasket breach and will need to be cleaned up; both need new  weather gaskets)
(1 ea) Spare balun for above TRK-500
(2 ea) TER-500 Antenna Dissipators (Terminal end; one used with Rhombic, two with "V" shape)
(2 ea 40-50 lengths of RG-164 coax, each with one connector on one end (these could be spliced together using Scotchcast 2130)
(3 ea) 8' (eight foot) "Chance" fiberglass guy insulators; dowel pin knuckle on each end
(4 ea) 4' (fout foot) "Chance" fiberglass guy ends (unfortunately 2 long 8' units were cut in half) (these could be used for the Rhombic side pass-throughs
 Feel free to forward this email to any other appropriate group.
 Thanks for the read,
