FWIW, we are talking about Ebay here! Does anyone actually believe that
a person is parting out a mint unit in the first place?

Ebay is the home of " I can't find a power cord, and don't know how to
hook up an antenna, so the unit is as-is" or I turned it on and the
tubes light up, but don't know how to ...yada yada.

Think about it.

I've tried selling off my Heath HW-101 station. Works fine and decent
cosmetics. I've been unable to sell it for $225, yet I see the speaker
alone sell for about $100 and the power supply sell for $150.

If I was like this guy, I'd sell the speaker and PS, yank out the tubes
from the rig and junk it. Can't bring myself to do this so I'll keep
dragging it to junkfests.

This is like his 4th or 5th complete stripping out of Heathkit rigs.

"Ready

to install
part - removed from mint condition fully working rig" - words to that
effect.
I mean what the HELL? What next - buy up Collins and strip them out?? So
you
can make $40 more than the radio is worth.... it's like this guy thinks
he's clever
and come up with a 'new idea' - strip mint radios for a 25% extra profit.

Go to the link above, then click 'view sellers other auctions' - you'll

see

what I mean.

Just irritates me and I wanted to rant. I know the argument - it's his
radio and
he can sell it / chop it up as he sees fit. Yeah yeah. Still hate it.
