    Same here Mec. But the only guys that I let work on my radios, amps, etc... were all old timers, that knew what they were doing, and either had a shop, or worked on electronics all their lives. Kinna like me being printer by trade. We are a dying breed.

    Everthing is made to be tossed out anymore. I am torn between having all of this looked at and fixed, or selling "as is". Either way, I do miss grabin the chicken choker, tuning up, and talkin between channels to the #1 Wallaby in Australia, or 15 minutes later to Manchester England! This equipment has made me miss my hobbies!

    will be 10-10 & 10-100 <tooo much COFFEEEEEEE ;-)

    Like many vintage collectors some want the item ready to plug and play and others want them to be as original as possible so they can do the repairs. Either way you scored some great rigs and I am happy you are knowlegable enough to recognize them and preserve them.

    I am not into vintage rigs myself but my first HF rig was a Heath Kit that was broken and I repaired it good enough to operate CW only. Nothing beats CW DXing and except casual rag chewing with a Morse code key. A little wire in the tree and talk with world. 73 Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
