Re: [IRCA] Talking House Transmitter for Sale
Bert and Group; I saw two FM Talking House transmitters at a Goodwill, last Fall for $6 each. They both contained a cassette deck and used a continious loop cassette. They also had a line in. I think that they are both gone, now. Bert - suggestion, ask local realtors if they have a spare to loan the school. Your school can get the use of the transmitter and the group can maybe get some marketing benefit from the trade. 73, Dave in Indy -- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2009 11:59:51 -0500 From: Ira Elbert New III i...@hotmail.com Subject: [IRCA] Talking House Transmitter for Sale To: radiobroadcast...@yahoogroups.com, dxl...@mwcircle.org, irca@hard-core-dx.com, amf...@qwest.net, ircamem...@ircaonline.org, a...@am-dx.com, dx...@yahoogroups.com, a...@nrcdxas.org, a...@lists.wtfda.info Message-ID: col104-w2845d610c27a4599a7f9899e...@phx.gbl Content-Type: text/plain; charset=Windows-1252 I wonder if this is a good deal.

I believe those FM units are quite old. The Talking House's on FM don't go very far at all.

Re: [IRCA] Talking House Transmitter for Sale
Patrick, Thanks for the reply. I thought that also...If it works and only $50, buy it!!!...but I didn't want to come right out and say that what with the tough economic times and all. Anyway... Perhaps I'll e-mail the guy and see if he's as trustworthy as you are and maybe I'll end up with a good deal. Thanks again for the reply and the encouragement.

Re: [IRCA] Talking House Transmitter for Sale
I contacted him and he sent a few pictures. It looks like a VCR, but I can't tell what brand it is. I also asked him if he had used it recently. Anything else you think I should ask?
