Going HAM!

Yep it is one of two deals I've run across last week. The amazing thing is until 10 or so years ago, I've always was the last to know. It seems being in the right place at the right time.

I just got home after moving all of the stuff out of the house and into the storage unit. I started yesterday and had to hire three guys to help out plus rent a trailer. Just moved it because don't even know where to start. The books alone came to four large totes. I discovered some of the wooden crates were filled with all kinds of military stuff this morning, so that's alone is a weeks worth of work figuring out what it is. There are so many tubes I have to buy a new tube checker to get them all checked. I counted three crates of CBs (like I need more) and a few crates of commercial radios converted to two meter radios.

The catch out of it so far is the radio sets that are packed in it, I didn't expect to find any of it but it was in crates.

I'm thinking that maybe next year I will start working on the pile, just so much there.

The other one I let my buddy get, I found a moving sale in the same area, the owner had a lot of ham equipment. He took the day off (which he said pissed his boss off so much he told him to find another job), got there at 8 am (it opened at 10) and he was first into the house. He made a deal with the owner and got 17 crates of ham equipment from parts to radios for $700. The people clamboring to get into the room with the radio stuff he said was unreal. He ended up with some high power amps, a lot of amp parts (and a lot of commercial broadcast tubes), and some unique test equipment. He had to make two trips with his truck, got the expensive stuff out the first trip, got home to find his wife broke her wrist and had to take her to the ER. He returned yesterday to find some POS went through what was covered and marked as sold, stole a couple HV transformers and a bunch of HV caps, he was not happy. He got some unique things out of it, and he most likely won't be selling much of it.
