BA's in NJ:
HQ-170 $200 obo
C-Line $700 Not ,marked "obo" but probably was flexible.
Saw an Apache and an SB-1 but it was unmarked & I didn't ask -- can't use 'em (wish I could).
BA's in CT:
HRO 500: $2000
Probably a good thing I couldn't use it -- would have been sorely tempted. But I DID get to play with the knobs, for no charge. Very, very sweet!
Knight-klit Star-roameer: $90.
ICOM IC-211 (two meter multi-mode circa 1980) with the RM-2 remote microprocessor controller.
This one had me going, but, somehow, reason prevailed and I passed it up. This is a pretty rare rig, especially with the RM-2. Asking $200. Almost offered $150...but...didn't. He might have actually accepted it!
4-1000A GG Linear RF deck: $500.
Looked like a magnificent amp. Besides that great tube it had vacuum variables for the tuning and loading caps and a Johnson tank coil. Would have grabbed that immediately if I coulda used it. Sigh. Or, I coulda bought it, stripped it, cleaned up the parts, and made a profit.
Saw a Globa Scout 680. No price marked, and again, since I had no intention of buying it I didn't ask. But there was something peculiar on the front panel. There was a knob labeld "FIL GAIN". WTF? Gonna have to research this on the net.
And, as usual, the social component was a good as ever. It's always good to get out there and talk to hams in the flesh -- always makes me proud to be a ham.
Missing Deerfield next week -- going to a harvest festival in the Catskills & dunno if there'll be another fester this year.
