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.




Damn. You're doing a lot better than I am, recently. Nothing at
the thrift stores around here but baby clothes and bubble-faced CRT
televisions.
