Need the bucks, decided to sell the Drakes. It's going on the local Craig's List as well but I thought I'd offer it up to Islanders first.

6376

R-4A receiver, late (11-tube) model
T-4X transmitter
AC-4 HV power supply, rebuilt using the Heathkit Shop kit
MS-4 speaker and cabinet
MN-4 antenna tuner
Sure 450 microphone

All clean and in working condition, although the transmitter will need some tweaking and I think the finals are a bit soft. I'm asking $450 on Craig's List but will take a substantial discount from any Islander to make up for the shipping costs, which won't be cheap.

Obliquely apropos of this post, what do you say to some schmuck who calls up and asks "what's the lowest you can go?" I just told him to make me an offer but if anyone else has a better reply please post it.

A monumentally stupid question, but I get asked the same one every time I try to sell something. I usually go with "make me an offer" or "that's the price".

That's what I thought too but I want his money so I was nice. He offered $350, I'd take $400. All I want to do is break even on the deal.

The correct answer to his question is $525.00. Now $450.00 doesn't sound too bad.
