Atwater Kent Big Box
#6

Ron Ramirez Wrote:<rant>However, I do have a problem with parting out nice sets, and sets that would not take much effort to restore.

This recent butchery of a nice 116B on eBay is the most blatant example of profit chasing I have ever seen. As it turned out, the seller made less on the pieces than he would have on the entire set, and the chassis didn't even sell. And that's good. It would have served him right if none of the pieces had sold.

What is more important, people - making $$$$, or preserving history?

Let's just tear all of our radios apart and sell the pieces. Eventually, there won't be any left.</rant>


Couldn't have said it better Ron. It is ridicules what people will do for a dollar.
