17 Oct 2012 – Surplus Equipment Sale

The Lothians Radio Society held a very successful autumn surplus equipment sale (definitely not “junk” this time) on Wednesday 17th October 2012 at St Fillan’s church hall. There was a lot of equipment for sale including many oscilloscopes and other test equipment from a recent Silent Key operator, and a record attendance of 37 LRS members and visitors.

 

 

Some of the items for sale.

 There were several spanners in the works among Pete GM4BYF’s items.

 

A chance to discuss the quality of the items.

 

LRS President Andy MM0FMF started the proceedings with a great rendering of hymn 58.

 

… while Treasurer Peter GM4DTH played a new table-top coin game! 

 

 Brian GM8BJF got things moving by selling several reels of wire and cable. 

 

There was great interest in a large number of oscilloscopes and other test items (untested!) that Brian brought from the estate of a recent Silent Key operator and which were all sold at attractive prices. Jack GM1CQC seemed very impressed!

 

Bob GM4CMI sold two laptop computers.

 

Norrie GM1CNH sold a very nice flat-screen monitor.

 

Colin GM4HWO was busy selling raffle tickets.

 

Pete GM4BYF sold an 18-element yagi for 70cm.

 

Pete: ” … and it’s got a lovely tone”.
