IMO a hundred bucks for a TA-33 in not perfect shape is WAY too much.
OTOH if you've got lots of time to refurbish it and you can get it for, say,
fifty bucks - go for it. It'll get you started and you can always move up to
something else in the future.
Boy, do I agree. I got my second C-3 in great shape for $300, and there
were no traps or other hidden deal-breakers. Even if you save $250, you
won't have a great antenna, you will have gone to all that trouble, and you
WILL want better.
