In the storage loft at our local volunteer fire depeartment sits an older Motorola High Band base unit. This is a big monster by todays standards, cabinet maybe 5 to 6 feet tall. I didn't have anything to write down the model number. At a glance, it almost looked like GE Prog line strips, but thinking, they are a bit wider strips. All tube of course, and most likely still has the crystals set up on the fire frequency (154.3XX). Unknown whether it is working or not. Vintage maybe from the Twin V days? The person who showed it to me seemed to think it was worth some money, but to me it would only be good for the cabinet. Someone would have to make an offer, and maybe pick it up. I'd bet it weighs over 400 pounds?
There are also what looked to me like GE prog line units, possibly AC powered, some had the control unit on the front. plus a number of other radios sitting there. the only one that looked interesting to me is a mastr II mobile, 110 watt 66 split, unknown operating condition. May or may not have cable and head with it. I'll try to find out more later. I dare say the base and prog line units are wide band compared to what we use now These are in Imperial texas, which is a 60 mile drive from Odessa, 30 from Monahans or Fort Stockton I'm not as familiar with the older Motorola equipment, but being as it is all tube, as are the Prog lines, it might or might not be of interest to someone on the group. The base would have to be shipped freight, or picked up. And even freight would cost due to its size and weight. Looks like twice or more the weight of my Mastr II repeater that is in a 30" deskmate cabinet. I am behind in reading emails, so could take a few days to read any replies.
