Jim W7RY <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterence to the drakelist gang
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But if you REALLY need a part for an old Drake that had been.... for example..... Damaged in shipping.... or dropped on the concrete floor by its owner....
You would be glad to have a part from a "parted out" radio. Or would you just be hypocritical and part the radio out yourself?
Ever hear of an automobile wrecking yard? There were/are some classic cars worth lots of money that ended up being used for parts.... Still Happens every day.
8 years ago, I parted out a Johnson desk kilowatt that was headed to the junk... Gave most of it away.... It would be nice to have it back and complete today...If wishes were horses, beggars would ride free.
Ebay is a supply and demand thing... If the demand was not there... niether would the supply.
Climbing off my soap box now...

I agree, Gary. I have made one of these people a fair offer for something
offered at too high a price on Ebay to fix a rig, and got the old "pay the
price or do without" answer. Found a parts rig and did the job, no thanks
to the "salvager". Actually bought the parts rig from a real ham for less
than the board was offered for!
