    Fair Radio Sales in Lima OH - going out of business - FOREVER

    Well, went back to get some more stuff a few weeks ago. Prices were more negotiable than previous, but not as much as I expected. Did find out that they are planning to stay in business a little longer, till about May. They just have so much stuff it's they're still going to have their hands...

    REDBALL FALL SHOW GILBERT, PA SEPT 22-23, 2023

    Love this show, probably my favorite one to attend every year. I got there early am on Friday, had a great day. Lots of show-goers and vendors, the weather was really nice, and got to see some good friends again. The weather forecast showed almost 100% chance of rain for Saturday. I was...

    saving military communications gear at hamfests

    This Sunday it was the Howard County hamfest in Maryland. Good turnout, though this one has been getting smaller over the years as well. Very little in the way of military radio gear, but I saved a handful of it. Pic 1: Another BC-348 aircraft receiver, this one is an -R variant, so one of...

    Fair Radio Sales in Lima OH - going out of business - FOREVER

    Going back there in a couple weeks with a friend for one last snagging trip - save what we can while it's there. Hope there's some stuff left, IMHO - I heard from several sources the walk-in customer volume has REALLY shot up, guess a lot of other radio guys have the same idea.

    saving military communications gear at hamfests

    More pics of military gear, and my saves. These pics from the show are units that I was either too busy or too forgetful to ask how much they were. Pic 1: A pair of PRC-25s, one had a H-250 handset, the other a H-189. Pic 2: These were interesting, I didn't see a data plate on either unit...

    saving military communications gear at hamfests

    Last Sunday I went to the Berryville VA hamfest; Berryville is always a big show and this time didn't disappoint. Beautiful weather, hundreds of tailgaters selling things, and lots of older equipment (including military rigs). I even got my daughter to come along and watch the table selling a...

    Fair Radio Sales in Lima OH - going out of business - FOREVER

    Last few pics of the front room. Also what I purchased. My buddy got some odds and ends, and a nice WWII BC-348 receiver. I snagged a R-1051 receiver with the proper shock mount, a few rack-mounted components of dual- and triple-diversity receiver units, a flight data recorder (I save some...

    Fair Radio Sales in Lima OH - going out of business - FOREVER

    I went to Fair Radio a couple weeks back with a friend. I was all about going to post an update in my existing thread about Fair Radio, just posting up pics and whatnot, when I got an email from same friend. He heard that Fair Radio Sales, which has been a mainstay in the surplus and vintage...

    saving military communications gear at hamfests

    I missed a couple hamfests recently due to work conflicts, but I finally got to one last Saturday in Manassas Park, VA. Figures the one I get to is small-ish and I was done there in about an hour. Next big one in this area is in early August, I hope work doesn't rear its ugly head for that...
