The one that got away
I had an SX-43 with R-42 for many years until in a fit of garage cleaning, I gave the '43 away but kept the R-42.
Forward a few years. I was at a hamfest trying to sell off some surplus when an old guy (even older than me) saw the R-42. He said, "I've got an SX-42 I'd give away, almost." He walked away and before I could chase him down, I was called from work. A computer operator had done (again!) what he'd been told in writing not to do. I had to head to work and have always regretted that missed SX-42.
