Isn't it funny that you can rationalize your purchase prices but someone
else's rationalization makes him a sucker.

That is what W2AGN had to say about the people buying the AC-1's. Well...I
just took a look at W2AGN's shack picutres at his web site. Based on the
ton
of junk there it looks like he speaks from experience! hi hi
Actually, much of the "ton of junk" was acquired quite reasonably. Much
was new back in the 60's and 70's, and was "inherited" or was stuff I had
back then. The GPT-750 I purchased in 1973, for $350.00. Not a bad value
per pound. But $300-400 for an AC-1? I don't think so. Heck, I got a Heath
AT-1 just a couple years ago for $75.00. Oh yes, and a Davco DR30 receiver
for the same price. It just takes careful shopping, and not depending on
eBay.
