[time-nuts] LORAN-C at MIT
At the MIT Flea today, I saw 4x Austron 2100Fs for about $25 each. There was also a LORAN-C simulator and a Stanford LORAN-C unit for $200. Seems the stuff is hitting the skids. -John ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
Re: [time-nuts] LORAN-C at MIT
Silly thought, but do you know if the 2100F units sold or not. I'm interested at that price as Loran still good in UK (plus I used to sell these when I worked for Austron, and would be nice to actually own one).

Re: [time-nuts] LORAN-C at MIT
Some did. Possibly not all. I know a local time nut who bought one. There was some other, older, Austron stuff (2 pieces) that had not sold by about noon. Before you ask, I do not know the seller. - FWIW, I asked about the price early on. He didn't know and was playing on eBay with his iPoo to get a price. I told him LORAN was defunct and he didn't seem to believe me, so I voted with my feet and shopped elsewhere. At that time he had 3 2100Fs in a 4 or 5 foot rack in a box truck, plus some loose stuff. -John === Silly thought, but do you know if the 2100F units sold or not.

Re: [time-nuts] LORAN-C at MIT
John Great wx at MIT today and I did see you with a few bargains. I think the sun was getting to me plus wheeling dirt around yesterday and today. I am bushed. The SRS fs700 was from Kevin and at the start he wanted $150. Glad it found a home. I did pickup the simulator for $10 and 2 X 2100Fs and a 2100 each $20. They all seem to work though someone was messing with the cables internally to the one of the Fs. After putting them in the correct order the unit was fine. I always look first before plugging in. Stan would have been good to meet you. Though as I say it was getting toasty in the sun. Lots of smaller bargains also. Odds and ends stuff. The fellow with the LORAN stuff said it came from a ham that had passed away. That must have been some time-nut. There were still several austrons there. 2 X timing rcvrs of the 2000 class and a 2000c. Just to heavy to carry out. Plus they may have been gold. ;-) I know the HP paper was. Though I picked up 6 rolls. Regards Paul WB8TSL On Sun, Apr 15, 2012 at 5:30 PM, Stan, W1LE stanw...@verizon.net wrote: The young fellow in the white truck quoted me a price for the FS700 as 100$.

Re: [time-nuts] LORAN-C at MIT
It is all over in the bay area. When manufacturing got outsourced, so did the surplus. A lot of my lab is made up of Foothill and Livermore flea market purchases. (The local Metro PCS tech had the surplus Symetricomm and similar gear.) Foothiil begat the Lockheed parking lot which begat DeAnza. It is mostly junk. Livermore did good until the community college decided not to allow it to be hosted there. It was moved to a park and ultimately shut down.

There are some in San Francisco with the same feel. Though my Ham friends say that may be kind of in the past. Not at all! I just went to the DeAnza event a month ago. http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/ Came home with a scope.

Re: [time-nuts] LORAN-C at MIT
It is getting to the point where Rigol and Instek will make buying boat anchors a thing of the past. Actually, my last scope buy was a Bitscope USB appliance. It's nice!

A lot of my lab is made up of Foothill and Livermore flea market purchases. (The local Metro PCS tech had the surplus Symetricomm and similar gear.) Foothiil begat the Lockheed parking lot which begat DeAnza. It is mostly junk. Livermore did good until the community college decided not to allow it to be hosted there. It was moved to a park and ultimately shut down. The TRW swapmeet is on my bucket list. hmm.. it's not all that wonderful either.. Several problems 1) different processes at large companies that used to buy lots of equipment, and then keep it for a while.. now they contract it out to equipment rental places, so they don't have the gear on the books. To the ultimate customer, it makes no difference. 2) a much more diverse and rich environment for used gear to flow into. the internet has made it easier to put buyers and sellers together 3) different surplus equipment policies. along with #1, there's not as much company owned gear to be surplused, and the processes don't lend themselves to Bob loading up the truck and taking it down to the swapmeet Various and sundry ethics rules prevent surplus sales to employees (to prevent declaring that brand new VNA as surplus). These days, often they will contract with somone to haul away scrap and surplus, and that contractor counts on a good mix of valuable and not so valuable. (At JPL, dumpster diving is a definite no-no) 4) less user serviceable stuff in general. If it breaks, it's scrap, not repairable. ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.

J. Forster: .and a Stanford LORAN-C unit for $200. Stan, W1LE: The young fellow in the white truck quoted me a price for the FS700 as 100$. The Stanford FS700 went for a fair amount less than $100 and looked to be in really good condition. It was quite fittingly sold to a guy with a Don't forget to add the leapsecond tee-shirt. -Arthur ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
