ooh, now that's tempting. is it digital? ;-)


Would make a great paperweight (just like my nice TFT Casio and my Sony
Watchman).

How much to ship that E1 to 96271 via USPS Priority mail? I'll offer the $70
for it. Of course, I'll have to turn it right around to Drake for the
repairs (I'm a pretty darn good tech, but SMT is way beyond my skillset (my
eyes are not so good as they used to be).


Hey Brenda Ann: USPS now has flat-rate Priority Mail. Looks like it
would fit in their Large Flat Rate Box with bubble wrap and styro
peanuts. $13.50. Insurance: $2.75. Contact me mjcrook (at) gmail.com.
I'll be happy to provide a photo. (I'm in ZIP 33801)

cheers

gets signal and produces audio (though without button operation, it's
in the SW band only) and everything else operates just fine. Called
R.L. Drake about repair, they estimate 1 hour of labor plus parts
(estimate $125, and shipping both ways to Ohio). I've decided to bail.
Your options: buy from me for $100 plus actual shipping and insurance,
and get it repaired, in which case you've got a $450 radio
(calculation: $418 from Universal Radio plus tax and shipping) for
about $250. Or, you could cannibalize it for parts. Power supply and
satellite antenna included. One last note on condition: The radio's
folding antenna is slightly bent at the top section.

Is the E1 still for sale?
