Re: NOS TR-4Cw RIT
|
I purchased my TR4CWrit on eBay almost 10 years ago.? It is a very late serial number (@ 50 or so before the end) and is in almost mint, if not mint, condition; complete with NB.? Came with a AC4 rebuilt with a Heathkit Shop upgrade and a Shure 444 desk mic.....The only thing I did was install a new fuse holder as the old one had broken. ?I use it almost weekly when I NCS the Drake West Coast Net.? Very dependable. I paid $1200....I guess that would be a fantastic price these days... A few years after I bought it,? I bought an RV4C on eBay.? Paid $125 for it supposedly working.? It did not work,? but I fixed it in short order and it has worked flawlessly since.... 73's de Charles, KW6G On Wed, May 17, 2023, 8:40 AM Dennis Schaefer <dennisw5rz@...> wrote: These TR-4CW rigs on ebay have been interesting to me.? I bought one locally about a year ago, a TR-4CW with RIT. ?it is not in good shape, has some rust spots at a couple places on top, and it doesn¡¯t turn on.? The AC-4 needs to be recapped, so it¡¯s hard for me to do much without it.? For various reasons, I¡¯ve decided not to keep it.? A ¡°mint¡± rig went for $2400 a month or so, and the current one seems to be going that way.? On the other hand, one that had a loose mode switch but would turn on just went for $199.95.? That¡¯s so low that fees, packing, and shipping would be a high percentage of the price. |
