Tim is, as usual, spot on. We can weep, wail, & gnash-Or is that Studebaker ?- our teeth over "The ones that got away', or just shrug our shoulders & try harder next time. Or maybe be a bit PROACTIVE-Most of us have friends, neighbors, relations who are older & MIGHT-Themselves- have a friend, neighbor or relation who is harboring an ancient treasure just WAITING to be discovered & saved..Often, its free for the "Come 'n' Getting" of it, or you might have to help Papaw clean out his attic/basement/closet. They're OUT there, fellas-And in my experience, a good portion of the fun IS the chase...I've also found that "One attracts Two attracts Four", & so on. I never, in my wildest dreams, thought I'd be able to amass the number/variety of radios that I've been able to-but once I started, seems like a LOT of 'em found ME. I hate losing one, especially a good example, but there's always another one next weekend fixin' to turn up...
