Hi gang.

I listed some radio gear for sale a few weeks ago and had a nice 
response, but a few items are still unsold. I thought the prices were 
reasonable but I guess I was wrong or else this stuff is not on 
anybody's want list.  Anybody interested in any of this stuff before 
it gets listed elsewhere. Are these prices realistic or am I off base?

I am not one of those guys that tries to pass off hamfest junk as 
their personal equipment.  I have been using these for years up until 
a few months ago and to the best of my knowledge work as they should. 
I built the dipper years ago.

Due to work related respiratory damage - a newly developed allergy to 
one of our basic raw materials - I am off work and although I have 
been released to return by both the company doctor and a specialist, 
my employer refuses to let me return, even in a different job.  It 
appears that they are trying to get rid of me by running out my sick 
leave.  My lawyer says "Workers comp in Indiana just sucks." I agree.

Anybody need a highly skilled journeyman industrial electrician / 
instrumentation technician with 27 years experience in NW Indiana?

Here are the toys that I am reluctantly turning into bill payments.

TenTec Omni D upgraded to series B, with 1.8 and 0.5 khz filters and 
matching 252 MO power supply and connecting cable.  Xcvr has very 
clean front panel and cover, but some creeping crud on the heat sink 
and back panel.  Power supply has some minor paint scrapes on the 
front panel, but otherwise very nice and clean.  $500 for the pair 
with manuals.

TenTec microphone model 215.  The dark gray banana mic that matches 
the Omni B. Pretty clean but the paint is worn off where it drops 
into the included desk stand.  The cord outer covering is cracked and 
split at the mic end. $50.

Hi-Mound / Lafayette? bug.  Real nice condition.  A little tarnished 
but there is no evidence of damage or repair.  The cover is missing, 
but they usually are.  New covers are available from Morse Express 
for about fifteen bucks. I tried learning to use this bug but my 
brain is too calcified to learn new tricks! $60.

Heathkit solid state dipper model HD-1250 in original carrying case 
with all coils.  Excellent condition.  $75 with manual.

Shipping and insurance from NW Indiana not included.

I have digital pictures available.  Just ask and you will receive. 
Selling this stuff will help me continue to indulge in the twin 
luxuries of sleeping indoors and eating.

Sorry about the rambling, but I'm getting really discouraged by the 
garbage at work.  We were sold a couple of years ago and the new 
owners are NOT nice people.

I am always open to constructive comments, however flames will be 
cheerfully ignored.


Thanks
