People have been wondering why I seem to 'collect' all those old
used Motorola and GE radios. I usually 'collect' them at swapmeets
when the sellers can't give them away (except to me.)
I finally unloaded almost all of the tube gear except one - even
donated a GE MT-16 to a friend in the San Francisco Bay area
sometime back.
Why not? The manufacturers quit supporting them years ago.
I have Motorola back to the later Motracs, Mocom-70's, Micors and
Mitreks.
I have RCA to Series 700.
I have GE in Mastr-Pro (very nice radio) Exec II and Mastr II.
Those here who have seen my garage will ... groan ...
Get down to your local ham swapmeet and start catching up. Of
course, you'll raise the price to me ... but the parts will be used
by someone and not hit the scrap yard.
