That 9R-59DS is only a receiver. It's also more than 50 years old now, so even if it works you would likely have to recap the entire thing. If you are going to go with used equipment I wouldn't buy anything more than 25 or so years old as anything older than that will almost always need repair or service of some kind before it can be used.
Swinging back to the thread topic, conditions are lively in this part of the world today and hopefully it stays that way!
Hopefully I can hear some of you gents out there this evening

Stuck at the office, JJ get some for me! 
Stuck on a plane. First plane had a hydraulic leak on the nose gear. Won't be home until after midnight now.......
Playing around with a brand new Anytone 6666 today. It's eventually destined for my Rav4, but I've got it hooked up in the shop for a couple days to check it out.
Worked perfectly right out of the box. The only changes I made to the stock config (other than the conversion to 11 meters of course) was to turn mic gain up to 34, turn off the PA function (I'd never use it), and setup the SWR protection. Running with the stock mic.
Amazing the number of contacts that can be made with just a 45 watt radio !

Got home about 15 minutes ago and the radio is booming. Made 5 contacts right off the bat. Running the Ares2 barefoot. Had a Hawaii station for a few seconds but conditions shifted a bit.
I'll get back on soon and hopefully conditions won't fall out before then.
