You say FT-101, etc...aren't $100 pieces of gear on ebay. Thats too
broad and maybe your perspective is different than mine. As found Galaxy V are lucky to get $100, as are HW-100. FT-101, Kwood TS-520, Swan 350-500, Drake TR-3/4 will garner twice that in "last time I fired it up it worked" condition. I've given away two Galaxy V in as found condition this year because they couldn't be sold at any price. Found condition is the key. I'm sorry, but I got into bidding wars at least 3 or more times trying to get a Yaesu in guaranteed working condition with recent maintenance. I'm not clear if you are suggesting building these things from scratch or taking older xcvrs and refurbing them. If you haven't walked this talk I suspect you'd find out very quickly that paying $35 for an old Galaxy and refurbing it at maybe a cost of a dozen hours of labour you might get $125 on resale on a good day when there are no other buyers that could do the same thing for their own purpose. Nope, I am indeed talking scratch. To do an equivalent Galaxy 5 from scratch for $199 commercial resale? No way. Why not? Well, you have my input. I'll never discourage rolling your own but trying to make a bizness out of it is a whole nuther can of worms. Oh, and I so much appreciate that. That is not sarcasm. The Eternal Squire |
