DRAKE R7A SELLS FOR $2247 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been predicting to myself that the Japanese would soon try and
buy up old boatanchors on a large scale. I wonder if my prediction will come true. A HEMICUDA recently went for somewhere around 2,500,000 on Barrett Jackson. regards, NEO John S. wrote: mike maghakian wrote: http://cgi.ebay.com/DRAKE-R7A-SHORTW...temZ9740999363 The auction looks on the up and up to me. Nothing unusual about the bidding and the seller has over five thousand all positive feedbacks. The most I could say about this auction is that several bidders were interested in a Drake HF radio and the high bidder won. I'm fairly certain buyer and seller are happy and clearly the competitive auction process worked pretty darned well. |

I think you may be predicting the past. If you look at Japanese
websites you will see some impressive collections of radios and lots of other boys toys. Of all the groups of guys that buy and sell radios I'm wondering why the Japanese are worthy of your special attention and concern. Maybe you would care so share your thoughts. And some guy paid close to $3million for a GM concept car from the 1950's. So what...it's supply and demand at work.

I once read somewhere many years ago that in case of an EMP,tube type
radios will just sit there and stutter along for a short while and then work again as though nothing ever happened.I hope we never have to find out though.I think there is at least one outfit in Russia that still builds tube type radios.Maybe they know something we dont know.It shouldn't be hard to build your own tube type radio. But what about those solid state transistorized radio stations? cuhulin |

And resistance to the effects of electro-magnetic pulse is why the Japanese have been buying shortwave radios? |
