just got offered a huge haul!
#1

well ask and ye shall receive. I was saying I never hit a score like some of you guys but I got an offer today from the relative of the head of CBS SOmething?
He has thousands of tubes and items from radios to ham stuff and military communication devices. He says a ton of it is still in boxes. He is going to start sending me emails and pictures and I will post them. hopefully it is not a crap fest.

Old .......How do you come across this stuff? You have been lucky lately.

Well I dont collect 80% of what he says he has but from stories I have heard these things turn out to be crap shoots. sometimes garbage and sometimes gold mines. I post a weekly AD in my local Craigslist
"wanted" antique radios, tubes and electronics. Never done well with it but this last 2 weeks I have been getting hits. I will post pictures when he starts sending them to me.
