Thanks Garey -
I managed to find the sweet spot for the L2 adjustment, and the 2BQ seems to
be working as advertised. I plan on running the 2B over the weekend to see

Many thanks

Curt, that's a perfect example of the type of ad needed for well-above-average

If you're shelling out more than 2x the typical price, you either need to have
hi-res photos of every square inch and all views - with and without covers.

I did see a TR-4CW going for nearly a grand on eBay recently. It looked nice,
Kevin, I see loads of replies below your post that I'm going to read after I
offer my opinion so as not to taint it.
Collector condition, first of all, needs to be considered "excellent" by the

Here is a sample of a description I did for a "collector Condition"
rig. It is not perfect as it had to fit in a limited space, but it
might give you a few ideas of what to ask and/or what to state in an
offer. Even being as objective as I can be, someone would still need to
know my reputat
Hi Jim:
Absolutely! It is sooo difficult to quantify condition. Anyone that is
considering the purchase of a true collector radio, at an elevated
price, like any collectable, would do well to inspect in person or get a
known authority to do same--else, take your chances. If you never

Hi Guys,
My wife bought me an Ipad recently. I used it to make a you tube video
of my latest project and a little shack tour.

Kevin:
Sorry for the glib answer I gave earlier, but the term "collector quality" is
so subjective as to be completely meaningless without further definition on the
part of the seller. Even grading "standards" are highly subjective, and you'll
get four different grades from three different pe

Also note the differences in restored grading v. original condition
grading.

I have used words to that effect but always state the reference scale as
the CCA condition metric scale that references SPECIFIC features for
different ratings.
THings like Original paint, dents, chips, panel scratches, mods, panel

Say a ham has an T4XC transmitter and matching R4C receiver that he states in
