Bill,
I will be buying a 250 - 300 ft spool of 1/2" hardline from a local
salvage/surplus store for $100. Guess you would consider it NOS. The wooden
spools themselves are in poor shape. Not certain that it is Andrews coax,
if not, its a very good copy.
Like John says, you buy it when you find a good bargain. Same with
connectors; at swap meets, used connectors are typically no more that $5
each. I guess if someone needs some hardline now, and could pick it up
locally, yours would be a fair price.
You can also often find 7/8", 100 - 130 ft hardline pieces for about $1 a
foot. Sometimes they may have a connector on one end included.
BTW, I agree with others, this is not an subject Elecraft and does not
belong here. I'm sending this email to the "TowerTalk" reflector where it
really should be.
73,
Ray,
