    2 one owner FT-101EE/$500.00 each,These had the crystals from the factory to use on 11 meter and they sound great! Excalibur base/$350.00 and RCI 2950/$250.00.
    [​IMG]
    Tram D201-A/$750.00,one owner.Very hard to find parts for but you would have to go to a true AM transmitter to get the kind of sound quality these radios have!

    [​IMG]
    Golden Falcon 10 tube-2000 watts/$600.00. Lots of power but it is a very dirty amp,even with a clean radio!
    [​IMG]
    FT100-D/$400.00 converted to use on 11 meter but only used on 38LSB. One owner-sold i and still kick myself for letting it go.
    [​IMG]
    This was taken 2 summers ago,have no clue why it says 2005. 2 Cobra 2000/ paid $350.00 for the one on top,$500.00 for the one on the bottom and it does not have a scratch on it! I still have it.
    [​IMG]
    Zodiac tube amp $800.00,2000+ watts.sold. Another dirty amp.
    [​IMG]
    RCI 2995$550.00.The very best base you can buy on the market today,unless you go to a true ham rig! Had 2 of em and loved them both. Sold em both to friends who still use them.

    Just these few represent over a $4000.00 investment in equipment and this is not even half of it,i dont run junk!

    I did not take any pics of the big amps before i sold a bunch of stuff when i moved ( lot of this stuff hates car rides) to another state. I still have many left not shown here but since my radio room is not done i will post em at a later date. I bet i have well over $15.000 dollars invested in all of this stuff,good thing i have a good wife.

    This is nothing compaired to what some other people have,i know. Mr 105's radio room is half the size of my house! Triple 9's radio room will just about keep his whole house warm when he has all that big tube stuff running. Just thought those of you who have said i was a "big radio hating,out of the box using,getting my lips cut off every time i talk,know nothing,BS talking,wanna be" mudduck.... i would show you what a mudducks radio room looks like. To the boys who have talking smack to me. As you can see,im no wanna be,lol.

    Who knows. Maybe one day,if you work hard and stop pissing your money away,you can be a mudduck to!

    They dont do much power wise (about 18 watts AM-25 SSB ) but if you set one up corectly they sound great on AM and SSB.
