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

of my latest project and a little shack tour.

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
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

Many thanks
