            <description><![CDATA[ Yes, a pair of microphones for your studio. These are the Radio Shack version of the Shure Brothers SM58. They sound great and are ruggedly built; meant for live performances. Lo-Z (200 ohms). Come with original boxes, protective pouches, stand clips, mic cables (XLR male to quarter inch phone plug), and spec sheets.<br />
<br />
These are lightly used but, as the photo shows, look brand new and were never abused.<br />
<br />
Asking $40 each or both for $75, including shipping. A good way to improve your studio sound without spending an arm and a leg.<br />

            <title>Sold: Icom R-75 communications receiver (1 reply)</title>
            <link>http://www.frn.net/vines/read.php?11,2617,2617#msg-2617</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ Gone on its' way to a new home!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, I'm selling my venerable R-75, serial# 002930. Comes with the AD-55A power pak, owner's manual, MB-23 carrying handle and feet, and the original box, which is in new condition.<br />
<br />
I've made three minor modifications (all are easily reversible). I replaced the 1st IF 15 kHz xtal filter with a 9 kHz xtal filter which really tightens up the front end, making it a better DX machine. I did the partial MW attenuator removal since I live in an area without much MW RFI. And I added a capacitor from the chip to Ground to make the &quot;S&quot; in S-AM stop blinking on and off.<br />
<br />
There's also one minor boo-boo: When performing one of the mods I allowed my soldering iron to touch the plastic above the left side of the LCD display, leaving a small melted spot. It's on the top, not the front. It bothers me, but it's hardly noticable when the radio is in use.<br />
<br />
This is the original R-75 design with the Motorola &quot;AM stereo&quot; chip, lending itself to some KIWA mods, if you are so inclined.<br />
<br />
It was my primary receiver for several years and has brought in quite a bit of DX, both pirate and otherwise. So, why am I selling it? Because I just acquired a more top-end receiver (with a bandscope!) and as much as I'd like to, I don't have the room to keep everything.<br />
<br />
It works perfectly but it must be sold &quot;as-is&quot;, as is normal for used electronics.<br />
<br />
Asking $550, shipped to you. The Icom box will be wrapped in bubble wrap and placed into another box for shipping.<br />
<br />
Contact me direct or via PM here.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading. 73 and great DX! jta<br />

<br />
Anyone have the early 1970s LP &quot;<i>Electric Sparks</i>&quot; by Roger Ruskin Spear, formerly of the Bonzo Dog Band (one Radio Animal should like!)?<br />
<br />
If so, I'd like to get a mp3 copy of the song &quot;All By Yourself In The Moonlight&quot;.<br />
<br />
Any takers?<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ I had such great success when I looked for Stevens and Grndig that I thought I'd try for something a bit older and, if possible, rarer.<br />
<br />
I'm looking for a digitized copy of a 45 rpm single from 1961. It's by The Four Preps and called &quot;<i>More Money For You And Me</i>&quot; which lampoons The Fleetwoods, The Hollywood Argyles, the Kingston Trio, and Dion and the Belmonts, all in five minutes.<br />
<br />
I can find a copy on the web to play, but I can't download it. And since the lyrics popped into my head about a week ago, I can't get 'em out. I gotta have it! (too bad I didn't buy it way back then...)<br />
<br />
If you happen to have this record and can email me a mp3 of it, I'd <b>really</b> appreciate it.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I have the original three book set of <i>Radio Database International</i> in pretty good shape (considering the distance they've traveled with me) available if anyone needs them for their collection. This is the first edition, first printing of what later became known as <i>Passpost to World Band Radio</i> edited by Larry Magne and Tony Jones, and issued in 1984/85.<br />
<br />
Volume 1 is Int'l Broadcasting Edition, Volume 2 is the Tropical Band Edition, and Volume 3 is the Special Edition: Tropical Band Survey..<br />
<br />
Obviously they aren't for current reference, only for historical value. I need to make more room in my bookcase for more of Mr. Yoder's great books.<br />
<br />
There are no dog-eared (sorry Boomer) pages and no writing on covers or pages. However, there are a few scuffs on the covers. These are as close to brand new as you're likely to find today.<br />
<br />
Make reasonable offer to include shipping.<br />
<br />
Thank you. jta]]></description>
