Jerry Keisler received the note below and we thought it was a good time to add another section – Hardware.  Here is the note Jerry received:

Now, here is the problem, the reason why so much of that stuff is strike-through font is that I called Tim and asked what was the date of start/end of the sale.  He started laughing and said that he shot that message out last Wednesday and literally within a couple of days all of it was sold except for:

Heathkit DX-40 CW/AM Transmitter ($100.00) (Recently re-capped. Reconstructing a Novice station? This one’s for you)

and

Turner “Super Sidekick” Desk Microphone. ($25.00). He added that this has a four pin connector so is probably for a Yaesu.

If you are interested please give him a call.

73’s – Phillip
