There are some interesting items in here! Here's my take on them: The SX-101 is a beloved "boat-anchor" receiver and may be worth a couple of hundred dollars depending on its condition. If it works, possibly more. If the SB-102 isn't in too bad a shape and has the power supply with it, it could also fetch between $200-$300 to collectors. The TS-820 is a hybrid radio that still serves yeoman duty and is also worth $200+ depending on it's condition. That we appear to have a complete station (speaker, auto-tuner and remote VFO) is even better and ups the value quite a bit. Of course, value also depends on the overall condition. The SGC-2020 is an interesting rig: the receiver is "Meh.. It's OK" but has a reputation for being a bit deaf. The IC-718 is a very good, contemporary HF rig. If it has the CW filter in it, the rig is fully "decked out" and if it isn't currently in use in the station would make a great loaner rig. What you choose to keep of all of this, if anything, depends on how you plan to utilize it. The SB-102 and TS-820 are both hybrid radios, meaning thatthe final PA is tube-type and so must be tuned by the operator. As a certifiable Olde Farht I really am a member of Old Old Timers Club), this causes me no heartburn. But if these radios will be put into station use or used as loaner radios, operators will have to trained on how to tune them so thatthe expen$ive tubes in the PA aren't destroyed. With care they'll last decades. Under careless operation, only minutes. The Hallicrafters receiver has historical significance but probably no utility for the club. The SB-102 is in the same boat. Both require a relatively high amount of continuing maintenance to keep in top condition. The TS-820 is far more stable and, once properly aligned, will stay fine for many years. The SGC-2020 is a good portable HF rig. The Bencher paddles are necessary for using nay internal keyer, such as in the SGC-2020, the IC-718 or the club's current IC-7000. They are useless without an external keyer for the TS-820 or the SB-102. A straight key works for anything. The FT-736R would make a great satellite transciever if it has the right modules (or if they can be found). 73, Kim Elmore N5OP On Sat, Oct 17, 2015 at 9:11 PM, Peter Laws <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > A good time was had by all.
