Agreed Mike
Hamfest is cool but most of these geezers must start them at 8-9AM in the
morning...its crazy !!
Dont like the "new and improved" VCR plastic + surface mount gear...I like
it "old and crappy" as well as standard home workbench fixable.
Guess I have to keep greasing the guys at the local landfill, they found me
an R-391 and HP spectrum scope last week. It only cost me cost me 4 cases of
Bud and everybody's more then happy.
The Tek 531 works fine now, the rectifier tubes had fallen out of the
sockets and broke

Why so much Ebay crap ?

Its almost impossible to buy anything these days.
Anybody read their privacy policy, who are "partners" and "friends" ?
Promises at the top of the agreement are waived in the fine print, not

Reads like a Chinese menu


Ebay is fun for people that get auction fever, and of course to those
that sell to them. They don't mind paying almost new price or over.

All we have to do is wait, and it will settle down. In the meantime I
either buy new with a warranty, or at a hamfest, where I can see and
touch the equipment. And if it isn't at a good price, I keep walkin.
