Well, Just don't let that one get away!!

Some years ago I went to an estate sale that the guy was perhaps a jack of all trades. You know, warts removed, barber, teeth pulled and oh yes-radio repairman.

He had a stack of old test equipment in very rough shape. He looked at me and said I know what that stuff is worth! I'll let you have it all for $1500!! ---with a straight face and he was serious. I still would have refused if he paid me to take it!

I just said "no, I'm just here for the junk. For $50 I ended up with a Zenith Walton set (rough) a 8TS30 RCA TV and a huge box of tubes +!

Yeah, I showed him alright how to get rid of junk!!
