Gary..

One word for you: eSnipe! Generating interest in a item by early
competitive bidding usually means you'll end up paying more
than by playing it cool! Been there, done that. Having no more
room in the shop also helps...

Pete -

Yes, I have used eSnipe for items that I really want.

Workbench is full of Weller TCP-1 irons (circa 1967 to 1973) this weekend
[ Thanks to Richard, W1KSZ ]
2 of the 3 are working tonight, third will need more time for replacing
frayed cord.
Nice 1968 model goes back to Richard - ASAP for his matching black bakelite
PU-1 power unit.

I have not seen this many 1960's era TCP-1 irons, since my first repair of 5
TCP stations in 1975 ..that started me on this Weller "fix-it" path.

Other workbench has the Drake R-4C, finally got the Plextron R-720 antenna
and power cord earlier this week -- playing local VHF NWS channel !

You can use a little Radio Shack Weathercube for that. Put that R-4C
into doing something respectable ... and gain back a workbench.

Ha ha .. well the Plectron is running the local area NWS audio. Came from SC
college radio station - cleaned up fairly well.

Drake R-4C is being cleaned (Simple Green to remove slight nicotine
odor/haze) - this was a one owner estate item. Removed a couple jumpers
under the Noise Blanker socket (lost Drake factory jumper or seller removed
blanker and did poor job) -- and installed the Leeds Electronics 7-pin plug
... looks better than Drake's original ! Just installed the second IF AM and
500 Hz CW filter. Bob Sherwood's audio and power board will be next week -
if I have time.

I always dreamed about owning a Drake receiver with all of the Sherwood
mods installed. It would probably outdo most of the stuff on the market
today!

How are you demodulating the NWS FM transmissions?

I shared that dream, ever since I saw my mentor's Drake "B" line in early
1970s.
About gave up the dream last year, but when you least expect it ... you find
a one owner receiver in good cosmetic condition .. just before Christmas ..
who say's there is not a Santa Claus !

I am not demodulating the NWS signal. I have thought about that for a
project someday -- but not on current list. Nice solid state VHF FM
receiver.
Just listening to the robotic/human audio !!
