Hi All, I just purchased the Kill-A-Watt meter from an Ebay seller. These are neat because they plug into a 120v outlet, and you plug whatever you want into this gadget. It will display: Volts Amps Watts VA Power Factor Frequency Time KWH I paid less than $20.00 for mine.. This device

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know something like this existed. Looks really slick. There may be better deals, but I found it at supermediastore.com for $19.99 with free shipping. -- Ernie, k0occ Atlanta, GA -- Original message -- From: Jim Candela [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I looked at this unit when it was for sale for $200 a couple months ago and chose not to buy it. It hasn't been fired up in years! It may be ok but I certainly would insist that it be checked before buying at that price! Van, K7VS - Original Message - From: crawfish [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would, too. I guess some of his buddies told him it was worth more. I look to see it on epay soon. At least if someone wanted a challenge, this would be one. But not for $500. $200. maybe, but only after it cooked for awhile.

I totally agree. Even in ruff shape its worth the money. I have a home brew pr of 813's with modulator and power supply, I wouldn't take any less than 500 bucks just for the supply. Regards, Gary...WZ1M - Original Message - From: Geoff/W5OMR [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Discussion of AM Radio

If I knew where the transmitter came from and if it had been kept in the dry, that would be OK. I know too well about the vultures in ham radio. I have helped sell some estate sales, and I always ask the executors of the estate what THEY want for the equipment. I have been fortunate to get most

well, what I was trying to saythe fellow that has it now pr0obably paid what I was offered it for from the fellow that has had it for a very long time in his barn. The guy that bought it a couple of months ago now wants 2.5 times what he probably paid for it and he hasn't even taken the time

So this guy is not the one you dealt with earlier. He has no excuse, he has a General Class. Fire it up into a dummy load at least. I believe that the scenario you mentioned is the truth. Like I said, I saw it and thought someone might want it. Joe W4AAB - Original Message - From: Van

Yes, if the parts are any good, its worth $500.00, less is a steal if its not a ball of rust. Unless its built better then I build my stuff, I would not care if it works, it's the parts you want. If its built better then I build, its worth lots more! I think the demand for parts is likely to
