Re: Woo hoo finally got a TR7
The best thing you can do is study the service manual. The how-it-works write ups are very good. The TR7 is a complex radio but not overly so compared to modern rigs and is very understandable if you take your time. 73 -Jim NU0C On Tue, 16 May 2023 17:44:02 -0700 "K8CCA" <echapm4@...> wrote: Traded my Yaesu FL-2100B for the rig, ps and remote vfo.

The shipping doesn¡¯t sound unreasonable to me, either. It represents shipping and packing. Have you priced packing materials lately? ?He¡¯s running a business. There is nothing wrong with running a business nor in making a profit. He has a shipper/packer?who?gives him good results and charges enough to stay in business.?
I would love to find something like that at a nice lrice?and, honestly, if I found one,?I¡¯m not sure that I¡¯d keep it, knowing its potential value.?
The fact that the seller?deals in a lot of electronics surplus is irrelevant to the value of the item. He got lucky ¡ª so what?
Am I going to buy it? ?No, it¡¯s above my budget. It¡¯s not above the budget of at least one bidder and we all know that typical good examples of?this equipment, when offered at over-market prices, tend?to sit with no offers.?
We all have different interests and goals in our hobby and there is a definite niche for condition rarities such as this transceiver. It¡¯s the radio equivalent of a car found with 10 miles on the odometer.?

Re: TR4-CW Service Bulletin
You¡¯re entitled to your opinion but to me this looks legit.?
I¡¯m with you Steve. The images of the seller breaking the seal on the AC-4 and RV-4C boxes seems legit, the RV-4C cable wrapping, the Cinch-Jones, etc. are all pretty convincing it¡¯s NOS regardless of flips in 46 years. 73 Rob, W8LX Takes me back to 1977 when I opened boxes just like these as a newly minted WD8LXX. ?

I disagree. The tag on the PLATE control is something that was usually torn off upon getting the set out of the box. All the Drake items have the boxes and QC tags.?
It is certainly conceivable that such things have been and will be found, especially as SK estates become more common. The seller has a very good record.?
The bid was up to $860 when I checked an hour or so ago. You¡¯re entitled to your opinion but to me this looks legit.?
