I have minimal closet space. If the item fell on me I'd have two choices. Rehawk it on ebay or build it and use it. Just storing it in a box wouldn't do me any good, I was once in the home of a ham who collected unbuilt Heathkits, and what a sad sight indeed. He had over 50 (FIFTY) of them, all neatly stacked in a single row against a wall in his 'radio room' (box room???) - just a wall of brown boxes. What am I missing? What in the hell fun is that? Or is it just about dollar value, and that's what makes these folks see 'beauty'? Like having a large pile of stock certificates and taking them out late at night with a brandy and leafing through them for 'fun'. So needless to say, I'd build it. I bought a GR-64 on Ebay for $275 two years ago, and had a wonderful month spent building it making it work. I still have it, and even if you offered my $35 I still wouldn't sell it :-) JOE |
