I was shocked that no one else bid on the curve tracer! Especially as it's a mod C.

Too far and local pickup only. 
Not like it's the kind of thing you'd want to ship, though. Congrats on that score, Pat!
Yeah,
once in a while that works in my favor. The pick-up only on stuff I'm interested in is more typically out in the silicon valley. The Boston area is still about a three hour trek with traffic, but not undoable.
And those definitely need to be packed carefully if you plan to ship them - the CRTs are apparently easily decapitated - the guy told me this one (or one of the others he had) had to be replaced due to breakage enroute when he got it. I suppose that the connector pins for the deflection plates being fed radially through the tube neck cause a stress concentrations in that area, and with the tube held at the front and rear, any bad flexing of the cabinet could mean death to the tube... *snap* *hiss*
I still need to bring them inside, but am currently battling with the damned window air conditioner, who's condensate drain got plugged. Luckily I happened to go upstairs and notice the puddle under the window before it got too big, but there will be some drywall repair involved. I'm taking a break from putting it back together after cleaning out all the schmutz.
