Radio.

Although the "market place is, or rather, *should* be the best, If
I'm reading the antennas group and some one has an antenna for sale,
or is looking for one, it seems a suitable forum to me. Besides they
are probably more likely to find some one interested than the people
going to the "market place". Although I keep that group and
occasionally visit, I am far more likely to see something of interest
is it's placed on the groups I read.

I say this never having posted a FS, or FA on any of the newsgroups as
far as I can remember.

It has my sig, I don't know what the news reader did to the top.
There was no quoting, my post was the only thing there on mine.

Funny how eBay works! His bid is over $60 now. I hope he gets it!

Not worth it. You should have taken the $25.00

Supply and demand.... Apparently someone wants it. Not trying to be ignorant
here, I've worked on one of these in the past.. they weren't bad but nothing
to knock your socks off. In this day and age, $25 is the most I too would
have offered due to the radios age. But, to each their own. I've paid a few
bucks for some stuff too that others probably would have scoffed at. I'm
sure the rest of you have as well. With one last thought, one reason why it
MAY be fetching so much? Because it uses circuitry that most anyone can
still repair. Not SMD. SO.... maybe they want it for ease of repair
(providing parts are available). I know the next time I buy an H.F. rig it
will be something vintage. I'm not real thrilled working on SMD. My eyes are
not getting any stronger with age. I do it, but no one said I had to like
it. My Kenwood TS 440 knock on wood still works.. But it would be a cold day
in hell when I pay out that kind of cash again. Not when I can have a good
HW101 or the likes. I loved their audio.

Good luck on the radio sale.
