    Thinning out the herd

    Good selling day at the Gloucester county fester. Got rid of the following.....
    Johnson Viking I transmitter with 122 VFO
    Johnson Invader transmitter
    Johnson 122 VFO
    Johnson electronic T/R switch
    Johnson 6&2 receive converter
    Hammarlund HQ170 receiver
    D-104
    Came home about 300 lbs lighter, and I didn't buy anything. :cool2:

    I'm doing the same thing - actually shifting gear around. Some of the older (and not so older) "classics" will be sold for space and funding for other stuff.

    A couple of 940s, 901 lineups, assorted Cubics and other miscellanii are headed to the bench to get prepped for their journey outwards. Good gear, all - but I want to take the shack in a slightly different direction.

    All the stuff I sold was packed away and not being used. I still have a room full.

    Ditto (as the balloon would say).

    There are two storage racks in the basement full of "excess" and our bedroom closet has more. Most will end up going.

    0.0 No more selling until I am back in the states. Then you can sell me a Viking 500.

    Not even close. My friend Steve has far more usable gear on just one bench of his than I do throughout the entire house - and he's got three buildings full at the moment!

    If you have any KW-power level antenna tuners in the excess category, we'll talk. In about a month when I have some extra cash, once the deck project is complete.

    It would be cheaper to buy a house.
