That is beautiful...I may have to wait until I retire to get things
working the way I want them, i.e. antenna up at my residence.

I picked up an Icom 720A with power supply for $150 a few weeks back,
there's deals out there if you're patient.

They work well when you tie rope to them and use them for anchors.

Have you seen what they sell for lately? I bought mine about 15 years ago
for $500 complete.

I think the amp alone was going for over $1,000. I can't even begin to imagine
the radio. The funny thing is people got them free years ago, as the military
upgraded to more modern equipment. Now that are gold.


BTW, can you take a pic of yours and send to my email? I have never seen your
setup.

You can find them for less, $500 or so for a working amp. There were a
bunch of them at the Dayton swap-meet.

They were always gold, the only reason they were made available to the
public was the government required it for Collins to have the contract.
Built like a brick crap house, with great shielding. The audio is
sweet..tubes are getting a bit thin now for some of those old tubers.

Will do.
