I once sold an N.R.I. student built trainer kit from the late 40s for $800 sight unseen! I couldn't believe it as the thing was rescued from the curb waiting on the garbage man. Women can be VERY dangerous when it comes to determining what is indeed trash and what might be treasure. In that case an old repairman had died and the loving wife had ejected his whole life, the tools that fed and clothed her and their children, into oblivion as if it had no meaning OR value. I'm sure glad she did, but it was kind of sad going through this mans entire career beginning with training at N.R.I. and ending when his age along with solid state and later digital throw away crap made a dinosaur of the TV and radio repairman. I still have all of his correspondence material from N.R.I. in nice leather binders. Great information!
