Be careful, if it's a tri-tet, you might get bit :)

I can get you a good deal on a HG-20, though.. Not tested.

Why is it everyone in this forum seems to have a chip on their shoulder
just waiting and trying to **** some one off.

Is it because hams that like BA's are cranky old has-beens, never were's
who have nothing else to do?

IMNSHO, posts like this should read:

"untested, as-is"

You are right there. Too much Ebay mentality. Used to be it either
worked or didnt.

I recently bought a Viking Ranger at a hamfest. I asked if it worked.
The guy said he was selling it for a friend who said it worked when he
last used it many years ago.

In other words as far as I was concerned it didnt work and payed
accordingly.

Shouldn't that have said "Not tested, but the guy I'm selling it for said he
used to work New Zeland all the time using it barefoot on 80M."

Thanks for the thought, but I was mostly pulling your leg. But it is
something I do in some of my work just to get the frequencies I want without
committing a big piece of hardware to a simple task.

The items seem overpriced compared to similair items that have gone recently
on QTH.net and E-bay. I said nothing whatsoever about what I could afford.

I think he was saying it's way too much money for items that might not
work.
And he's right.


He and you _might_ be correct, but _maybe_ not. "Too much" says more
about
you than it does the OP.

If you don't want it, don't buy it. Nobody needs to know what you can
afford.

I have two nice looking VFO's for sale:

1. Heath HG-10 excellent in appearance, all original, not way to test
it,
$75.00
no way to pay that

2. Eico 755 excellent in appearance, all original, no way to test it,
$75.00
no way to pay that....


Gee! I missed the part in the original post that asked for opinions.
I'm
sure we all think it's unfortunate you are unable to afford either of
them.
Better luck on something less expensive next time.
