Yes, international shipping is getting very expensive. I have a piece
of test equipment which I sold via E-Bay. When I went to ship the 10
lbs. packed to Brazil I was quoted $285 and that didn't include
insurance. WOW needless to say I declined that purchase.
As I am liquidating all of my shop test equipment, now retired from
radio repair, I will say that I'm getting fair and acceptable prices for
each piece of equipment but the packing and shipping is killing me.
Even using the E-Bay estimator and bumping the number 50% doesn't cover
my costs. What gives?
Oh well, at least it puts some new $$$ in the ham radio fund. No sense
in crying over spilled milk........here kitty kitty kitty.
I'll look for some of those screws.

Hi gents.Just had a big shock, sent email to service department at TT, asking for
4 x case screws and plastic washers for my paragon, well it will look the part even
if I don't get it working, their minimum order is for $25 + $75 for shipping to the
UK, it is lucky I was sitting down I can tell you.So if anybody is junking ( is
that the term you use?) or as we say scrapping any of the TT radios that use the
big screws to hold top and bottom cases together, please email me with a price and
p&p charges.Thanks in anticipation73Snowy
