... One of my ham radio buddies passed away a few months ago, leaving behind several old boatanchor receivers. Is it OK to post them for sale here? TIA John Thanks for asking, John. Technically, the only correct place to list amateur radio equipment (and all radio equipment) for sale is the newsgroup "rec.radio.swap". Unfortunately many sellers, more concerned with a quick profit than they are with netiquette, post in every group they can think of. This newsgroup is more oriented to technical questions about boatanchors such as alignment procedures, getting replacement parts, troubleshooting, etc. While this group's emphasis is dominated by vacuum tube gear, posts on early solid state gear such as the National HRO-500 are welcome too. With the recent popularity in boatanchors, I am sure your posts will get lots of attention. A few suggestions... When describing a radio, note both its electrical condition (does it work, and if so, how well?), and its cosmetic condition. If you have not tested the receivers, say so. Also note if the equipment has been modified, and if so, how neat was the work. If there is any documentation associated with the equipment such as manuals, it should be included in your description. Likewise any accessories should also be described. Since the "rec" groups do not allow binaries, posting pictures is a little difficult. You can email them directly to those who ask, or if your news server carries the "alt" newsgroups, you can post pictures on "alt.binaries.pictures.radio". I wish you the best of luck in finding new homes for these receivers. Please accept my condolences on the loss of your friend. Dr. Barry L. Ornitz WA4VZQ |
