Sorry to be late, but I wanted to offer my two cents worth. My experience (several purchases) is that he is consistent. He always portrays his stuff as being much better than it actually is, but you can usually tell that from his pictures. By and large, what he calls "collector quality" mos

Bob, if you can be patient then you will find an example of what you want most likely from an individual that represents it well. I do understand the impulse buying and it took me retiring and living on a fixed income to stop most of the impulses. Watch ebay, unless you deal with someone who u

I would strongly suggest you do some searching via Google etc and see what you turn up, Bob. As others have indicated, there are indeed some issues to be aware of. Toolhaus is your friend, though I suspect you'll turn up more than enough info to answer any questions you have. ~ Todd, KA1KAQ/4 On

Be careful - "radiomart" is often reported to not provide the same unit as shown in his auction photos. I sometimes bid on his items but do so with the understanding that I might not get as good a unit as in the pictures. I therefore only bid quite low and let the deal get away if the biddin
