[W2CRA] WA2BZF's ham radio gear

[Tony Ploski]

CRA members

I received the following email from George AC2NX on Jim Pitts WA2BZF 
(SK) ham radio gear.  If you can help fill in the estimated current 
value of these items, please do so and get back to me.  We want to list 
them at our hamfest on March 14.  I do have pictures of the Vibroplex 
bugs but they won't pass through our reflector. Let me know if you are 
interested and I can send them to you direct.

Tony:

I visited Jim Pitts, WA2BZF’s widow yesterday and took inventory of his 
amateur radio gear. See attached. She has graciously offered to share, 
50%/50% with CRA, the proceeds from the liquidation of it at our HamFest.

I’ve done a cursory search on the internet to determine prices of his 
gear, or similar, when new, for reference. We need to have anyone who 
might be familiar with specific pieces of the gear, or who have 
experience assessing the value of used gear, to price it for sale at our 
HamFest.

Can you please either post this on the Reflector with an explanation of 
what we are seeking, or forward it to specific individuals you feel 
might best be qualified to lend their knowledge and expertise.

Thank you.                                        G.

ps: I’ve also attached photos of the keyers, which are not in mint 
condition, and the base of the unidentified antenna.
