Sold the FT 2000 D, FT 100, FT 847, Super star 3900, 71 years young now so time to clear out old stuff and concentrate on a few new radio's that will last me hopefully a long time.
Heathkit SB 1000 rebuild new 3--500 ZG so no complaints here.
Mostly running 100 watts though gets me through quite well.
Last year replaced all antenna's for new ones, so that will sort me for more as a decade...
The old Frizel FD-4 lasted 20 years if the new one does that as well...;p)
Get on he air guy's

That's what I'm trying to do at 73.5 YO I want stuff that will last me as long as I'm going to be around. Not that I mind giving work to the repair guys, but then you have to give the monkeys at UPS & FedEX their shot at bouncing it around. Sure wished I studied electronic repair when I was younger because I could make some bucks with it now. The Old Bod just doesn't like what I use to do and the bench work looks better. LOL
