IMHO the best would have been to sell the repeater with the machine, especially if the guy doesn't know what he's doing which is obviously the case.

oh well, I hope someone wins both listings. :?
Too bad. So much is permanently damaged or lost when people part out perfectly good functional machines.

So far, the same guy is high bidder on both items. It is now approx. $1,400 for both parts, with a day and a half to go. What would a complete Home with the repeater sell for in a normal market?

The last one I had, about 10 years ago sold on fleabay for 1600.00. But it was complete.

Hopefully the current high bidder, (or someone) is able to get both pieces...
