parts and shipping the pieces individually, right?

Thanks Bill. That was kind of my point, the karma. I'm well on the good side right now since I just shipped off drivers, crossovers, and paperwork from the old Advent Large speakers as they needed to have the surrounds replaced and the cabinets were trashed. The new owner is building new cabinets for them and they will be better than new when he's done.

I'd only strip the PS iron and speaker as I took a good look at the toggles and they aren't worth the hassle of stripping out. I haven't stripped it of the iron yet, it's just missing the knobs and tubes. I have the knobs, but planned to allocate them to other radios.

Heck, I'd take $10 plus the shipping and packaging costs to just cover a small portion of my time and the materials. So I'll make a new post later with actual pics so somebody can see what they are in for. I'll give it a week to find a new home before it gets gutted and recycled.

The Sky Buddy may up in the same boat. It's in far better condition on the exterior, but my other radios cover the same bands so it's probably best to pass it on too.
