It can't sell for $400, but it could sell for (gasp) $750 if you wanted it 
bad enough. I suspect he'll still have it come the New Year.

The collector crowd definitely skews the pricing of desirable, old
equipment.

Wasn't mine and I don't know the seller. Just thought I'd pass the info 
along.


Last one I saw on Ebay went for something like $890.

If those antennas continually sell for big bucks, it may be worthwhile for 
Kiwa (or someone else) to make them again.

Re: [IRCA] In case anyone wants one in time for Christmas. (Kiwa Loop)

2011-12-20 Thread Tim Hills

Craig:

The balanced preamp I'm using has MOSFETs that weren't available when 
the original Kiwa loops were produced. On a bundled ferrite it works 
great in a noisy environment.


All wood version similar to the Kiwa is on the drawing board and 
starting to gather parts/materials for it. Probably won't have time to 
mess with it until May or June though. :( Parts cost alone would be 
about $300 if I used everything new rather than scrounged/scrapped so I 
don't expect to be marketing, just a one-off out of curiosity.
