Some hams like to look back, others like to see what technology was like years ago and other hams want to watch something while they eat.

Seems strange how you would showcase them here when you have them for sale on ebay?

Nice tour of the radios Burt.  Especially appreciate your taking the time to demonstrate the effects of each control!

73,

That was a nice touch.  I have an SX-24 which I just had no idea how to operate.  Maybe now I can get signals to sound decent! :)

"A relatively complete duplicated manual is included" ????

Relatively
: to a relative degree or extent : somewhat


Complete
1: to bring to an end and especially into a perfected state.
2: to make whole or perfect

B,

"  The house is relatively complete. It just needs a roof before the rainy season "

You don't understand... its a kit of parts. Some assembly required.

Page counting always works for me. "relatively complete" is meaningless  ::)

I did not have the original, I downloaded and printed not knowing if there was a page not there.
