it is that tortures themselves with old mil radios to fix. But I saw this tonight and wondered if he was still into torture:

Wasn't me, but that looks like a nice radio. I still have a couple of old mil radios: a Harris R-2368/URR (RF-590A) and a Collins HF-2050. Ten years ago, I remember bidding against this same Ebay seller in a lot of mil radio auctions. Remember when you could actually tell who was bidding in Ebay auctions?

That would be me. Here's a shot of that Astro-DR you put me onto last year, in the rack with its companion accessories - and a 150R (80-10M in 5 bands):

I've always wanted a 3030 or 2411...but Dayton cometh and I want to see what in the way of CPI accessories are in attendance. If you know of anyone with the monitor scopes that went with the CP2000/BC2000 lineup I definitely want to talk to them.

I do have an old National with matching speaker out in the garage...doubt it works, in fact, i havent done anything with it since i got it from someones old storage unit many years ago, then it sat in my storage unit for 12 years. Do you know much about that brand? I can take some pics if you like.

Believe it or not, the only bottles in that rack are the 572s in the amp. Nationals...George, Paul and John (do we have a Ringo in da hizzle?) should be along shortly to assist with that!

Cool. I just emptied out the storage unit to save money and close out some old chapters...found that old, gray monster in the back. The lady who i got it from said her old man brought it home from Korea after the war, i guess it was on a ship, but you know how stories can get all tangled up.
