$30.00 garage sale score!

I picked up a TRC-459 recently also, it's just come back from the tech after a tune up.

I always liked the Navahos, but the TRC-459 has that uniqueness about it, being the last incarnation.

I know they aren't high performers, but it's not intended for contesting or anything like that anyway.

BTW it has the original price on the box, $439.95!!

That's a heck of a find, especially for 30 bucks and in that condition! Very nice! Those rigs are conversation pieces, as everybody remembers them, but nobody has seen many... especially in that shape. Congrats!

73,

I scored a TRC-459 for $50 at a garbage sale a few years ago, it is in VGC but the box is kind of beat. I'd like to find it's mobile companion in good shape at a realistic price but, they seem to be scarcer than the 459.
 
I should go back to the guy that had the garage sale... he DID say he had the matching mobile to the 459... didn't think anything of it. If he has a TRC-480, I'll snag it!


~Cheers~

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
