The saga of the fishy Jupiter gets more and more curious. Being even more
inquisitive than Kritter the ham shack cat I did the following.....
First, manually cleaned my internet cache.
Tried the link again with negative results. Recleaned cache.
Went to E-bay and logged in.
Went to ham radio, trancievers, other; search "jupiter," nil, de nada, zip.
Went to trancievers, search "jupiter," "jup," ten-tec, tentec, ten, nil.
Went to "ham radio" search "jupiter," nil.
Went to ham,cb,etc., search, nil
Went to consumer electronics, search jupiter, return - two items not Amateur
Radio related.
Went to browse, search jupiter, returned about twenty pages of non-ham related
items, no Ten Tec.
Logged off E-bay.
Cut and pasted the url, got an "invalid" page. Clicked on search on that page,
manually entered the number and got the fishy offer of a Jupiter. Noted that
it's supposed to be in the "trancievers,other" category I just left. Reread the
description, was as I remembered from last night.
It reminded me then and now of some of the deals I saw go down in my mis-spent
youth. Too good to be true - so it almost certainly isn't. And it does not
come up for me on the Ebay.com site.
So it's still what Shorty Breck succintly called a "reptile in the woodpile."
Although the small one said it with a Berliner accent he suddenly lost
December 7, 1942. About twenty minutes before the draft board turned him down
and two hours before he hired on with Westinghouse.
