T-B3s, Torque arms, other parts....Man I could maybe hold our for a complete
mint Hallicrafters station in operating condition plus a round emblem S-line
with the 30S1...Heck maybe a like new F33... AND... No... sorry, got carried
away...No... wait, I already sold that stuff...

I do have one of those very *rare* ROHN almost mint collectors tower signs
(just a few wrinkles) made of sheet aluminum, painted white with black
letters stating qualified personnel only may climb the tower.  Man, I'll bet
that'll bring a small fortune over on e-bay.  <:-))

And... If I part out the extremely rare, heavy, and straight 45G  in the
back yard (complete with 3, (yes that is 3!) 17,000# concrete anchors, I
could probably get a couple  of those motorized, crank up self supporting
monsters.  That 45G  has TWO of those extremely rate TB-3s, wait! One of
those is a ... get this... TB-4!  My dream home is assured!   I haven't been
this excited since I started flying lessons.
