AF2C <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterence to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Now here is something really sad.
There are many talented individuals out there who service Drake equipment for love, fun and profit. These same individuals, in some cases will part with new parts out of their stock for less money than buying the parts from a cannibalized rig.
Let's face it...When opportunity knocks, there will always be someone there to make a buck. Nothing wrong with that...It's reality.
Personally, if it doesn't cost me anything...The next guy can have it for nothing. If it does cost me...They can have it for what I paid for it. Then again, I'm not in business.

If you don't believe that, take a look at all the TR-7s that are being parted out on that e site. There are several guys doing it.
Personally, I have no problem about parting out a bonafide basket case but to tear apart a perfectly good operational unit to make a profit is a real sin. I just wonder how many SX-88s, SX-9s and earlier Hallicrafters sets have met the same fate.

I have posted a similar lament in the past ... there is however one advantage ... our estates will be able to sell our nearly "extinct" remnant gear for really big bucks!
Meanwhile W0WMZ Bill Zeller is resurrecting two declared-dead TR7's I rescued, one for me and the other for himself.
