Re: NOS TR-4Cw RIT
The costs of shipping supplies aren't cheap either. Bubble wrap, foam sheeting and boxes aren't cheap. I sell things occasionally and the costs of shipping have sharply increased along with everything

Re: Buying ham stuff from estate sales
The Cantenna is a messy item. I bought one at the flea market. It was filled with some unknown oil. I carefully decanted it & cleaned it out - disposed of the oil at the local hazardous waste facility
