RME collectors? Collectors who specialize in the last tube rigs
of dying companies?



You name it people collect it ....like the Bible says ...call no man a fool
or something to that effect.


I'm trying to figure out why "common" tube transceivers go for a
song and a half dozen small hunks of roughly machined brass and
steel go for a hundred bucks or more. Why do J-38's cost more
than some Vibroplex keys?



Supply and demand .... also one can store many more keys than rigs. My wife
is always on me with the "you don't use it so get rid of it lecture". I
shake my head at some of the "key crap" and prices on e-Bay.


Why do "catalin" radios sell for thousands of dollars, more than a
KWM-2?


Why do guys put up with owning any number of sports cars from the 50s and
60s with their inherent problems when they could get a Miata and be trouble
free? People like to tinker and this is certainly is a tinkerer's
hobby-endeavor-service.
