At the MIT Flea today, I saw 4x Austron 2100Fs for about $25 each. There was also a LORAN-C simulator and a Stanford LORAN-C unit for $200. Seems the stuff is hitting the skids. -John ============

Silly thought, but do you know if the 2100F units sold or not. I'm interested at that price as Loran still good in UK (plus I used to sell these when I worked for Austron, and would be nice to actually own one).

Some did. Possibly not all. I know a local time nut who bought one. There was some other, older, Austron stuff (2 pieces) that had not sold by about noon. Before you ask, I do not know the seller. ----- FWIW, I asked about the price early on. He didn't know and was playing on eBay with his iPoo to get a price. I told him LORAN was defunct and he didn't seem to believe me, so I voted with my feet and shopped elsewhere. At that time he had 3 2100Fs in a 4 or 5 foot rack in a box truck, plus some loose stuff. -John =============== > Silly thought, but do you know if the 2100F units sold or not.

The young fellow in the white truck quoted me a price for the FS700 as 100$. My main interest was the ovenized 10 MHz source inside. I did not see the simulator. That would of tweaked my interest... I strolled on, looking for the food vendor.... Stan, W1LE Cape Cod On 4/15/2012 3:52 PM, J. Forster wrote: > Some did. Possibly not all. I know a local time nut who bought one.

John Great wx at MIT today and I did see you with a few bargains. I think the sun was getting to me plus wheeling dirt around yesterday and today. I am bushed. The SRS fs700 was from Kevin and at the start he wanted $150. Glad it found a home. I did pickup the simulator for $10 and 2 X 2100Fs and a 2100 each $20. They all seem to work though someone was messing with the cables internally to the one of the Fs. After putting them in the correct order the unit was fine. I always look first before plugging in. Stan would have been good to meet you. Though as I say it was getting toasty in the sun. Lots of smaller bargains also. Odds and ends stuff. The fellow with the LORAN stuff said it came from a ham that had passed away. That must have been some time-nut. There were still several austrons there. 2 X timing rcvrs of the 2000 class and a 2000c. Just to heavy to carry out. Plus they may have been gold. ;-) I know the HP paper was. Though I picked up 6 rolls.

Yup. Once a month. Good sized parking lot plus four or five floors of a parking garage. Sounds like there were enough T-N there to have had a gathering! :) I too looked at all the loran units and decided to pass.

Don It is indeed quite an interesting meet. There are some in San Francisco with the same feel. Though my Ham friends say that may be kind of in the past.
