>> ... for sale ... Standard C1208 ... mic unit, a power cord, and the manual ... Great old rig ... and offering the manual is a PLUS! >> ... $140 plus shipping and can take paypal/check/MO ... OK, John, how much of this sale is going to AMSAT and the DARA Doubling(tm) campaign??? I'll pay $125 plus reasonable shipping for the unit - if you donate $25 of the sale to AMSAT - with doubling, that's a $50 donation to AMSAT!!! Clint Bradford, K6LCS
