The continuing saga of cleaning out my lab...

I GUESS, being someone bid on it within 4 hours of posting the auction. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

But if they collect them and never open them, they're just buying sealed boxes with the kits inside. Seems like a shame not to open them and enjoy them.

I ran across a goy who's selling out his collection of unopened ones, and he had an amateur reciver and transmitter matched pair. I asked him how much he wanted and he wanted $1300 for one and I think $900 for the other. Whew. Too rich for my blood.

Oh wow, like those old plastic sheet phonograph records. How quaint!

It looks like you've stumbled onto a real treasure in that it's a collector's item, and there are folks who will pay you big bucks for it just to keep it for another ten or twenty years to resell, unopened. Good luck!

Hey, I HOPE someone bids $500 for it, but ain't holding my breath.

I think I have another one somewhere too, only an actual kit. An electronic siren, IIRC.

If I had a time machine, I'd go back and buy a warehouse of the stuff, like the $300 linear HF amps that were around back then and are selling for $1600 unopened now. Of course if I had a time machine, I wouldn't need to, I could just play the big Powerball when it's $100 million. :)

If you did both, Heath would still be in the kit business. ;)

Think old unused postage stamps. That's how they see them.
