Stopped by the local Goodwill outlet today and found a beautiful
Select-A-Tenna for $4.


At the checkout I was asked if I was a 'Senior', over 55, an they gave me a
20% discount.


Out the door for $3.39.

* Outstanding.


* I use S-A-T for MW reception here in the deep weeds of Lake County
and up in the North Woods when I'm at the lodge.


* Seriously useful at bringing up deep signals, but without the noise..


The only other 'gem' I found recently is a Westinghouse 'Seven-Transistor' AM
radio, model H-602P7, ca. late 50's, apparently their first transistor radio.

Genuine top grain cowhide case, which is in darn near mint condition, for $3.18
out the door.


Good show! Our local thrift stores don't have crapola.
