More Aluminum Bad Craziness

Craigslist will be the death of me.

That's the current load. Lots of weird old TV and FM radio antennas on top.

Complete Mosley TA-33jr. I'll have to change all the hardware and check the traps, but it's in pretty good shape.

Nifty Cushcraft A50-6S in pretty new condition next to the R5. Looks like it was in the air for only one season or so.

Tomorrow I get to go rent a trailer and pickup up the prize of the bunch. It's a Wilson 40' light weight tubular tower similar to the MA-40. It's got all the parts in decent shape. The guy also gave me a box of rotators in various states of repair. 3 of them are Ham M rotors and one Alliance HD-73. I figure if I take one apart and try to rebuild it, I've got 2 more chances if I screw it up.

All this stuff was $150. The scorn and sarcasm from Sarah ("You're going to make our new house look like the SF Russian Consulate building!") was free...

And what is wrong with that, tovarisch? Is good Soviet aluminum, da?

I never see anything that good on the local Craig's List. Everyone here thinks their clapped-out junk is made of gold, like this guy, for instance.

In ex-Soviet Russia, antenna erects you​.

He's technically correct, although he forgot to mention that the ones that sell new for that much are autotuning and come with the tubes already. The bastid.

And don't have serious issues with the input circuitry.

Or you could pay for it with the new Soviet Express Card. Their motto... "Don't Leave Home!"

Craigslist is how I added to my collection of stuff, and I searched the non-local ones for radios and parts...

Google "search all craigslist" and you'll get hits for various custom searches.

Craigslist was EXTREMELY helpful when I was looking for CPI radios and accessories, and when I was chasing Pace soldering gear and Tektronix TM5xx stuff.
