Re: Ebay Global Shipping
Well, it might be because I had a wonderful experience of having to post something twice because the bloody form wasn¡¯t to Customs Canada¡¯s high standards. When they were done on paper, they were

Re: Ebay Global Shipping
I don't think there is a big problem with completing the forms. From my experience, I will stand in line for a half hour just to GET the forms at my local post office. Then, I'll have to get back in

I fix these radios for fun and for hobby money. I certainly don't get wealthy on it. I start with the specialist usergroups (Drake-radio, in the case of Drake equipment). I price lower than I would

Re: Ebay Global Shipping
I agree with every word of this. I don't know when eBay had their last rate hike, but I just sold a Kenwood TM-V71A about 2 weeks ago. It brought $485 +$18 shipping for $503. I'll clear about $423 of

Re: TR-4C Volume / RF Gain Control
The wafer I found was NOT from the same manufacturer but it ended up working fine. There was a lot of standardization (also called "copying") of design when these were made. Lots of choices.

This is where it's good to (re-) mention PirateShip, where you can save big bucks (50%?) over counter rates for the big shippers. USPS discounts are pretty hefty too. No idea if they offer
