So the seller used to work for our hydro electricity company over here, maintaining their communication system. At some point they upgraded everything and he kept the different RF modules and spare parts in his basement.
He initially just wanted to sell the connectors but included the RF modules in the lot since he wanted to make some place in his basement ![Grin ;D](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
Now I need to find some info on those power amplifiers and flip them on the bay asap.

No, seriously; good score. If you can find the right market, I'm sure they'll buy you a car.

Here's today's Thrifting score, in comparison... The RESMED CPAP is 2 or 3 generations newer than the one I'm using; I'll need to go through it and run the tank and everything that handles air through the dishwasher before I'll feel safe letting it pump air into my lungs.

But it'll be nice to let my old rebuilt-3-times beast become the backup, finally.

Also you can see what should be the right remote for the 40" TV in the background, and a much better-quality 32" Panasonic being used elsewhere. I NEVER find the right remote!

Both of those were curb scores over the last couple months; the Panny appears to be 100% functional, while the Samsung is now in the repair que due to a random flaking out issue in the IR remote sensor.
The Radio Shack 4x4... poor Emmet thinks its his birthday.

These things are a weird cult thing in RC.
![Shocked :o](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
They were never more than toy-grade, but they were some of the best toy-grade RC ever made; nothing like the New Bright crap that drove them out of business long before the Shack died. 480-size motor, 2-speed gearbox with dual-differential shaft-drive 4-wheel drive; some of the later models had full lighting and proportional steering/ESC. I've probably bought and converted 20 or so of them to "real RC" with the addition of a cheap 2.4Ghz controller and ESC; the existing integrated steering servo can be modded to work. This is the first one I can remember actually getting with the remote; maybe it'll actually work.

This is one of the nicest-shape I've seen in over a decade; like NOS almost with only a couple light scuffs and the rubber tires in near-mint condition. Both were real rare finds which is the only reason I was willing to deal with the assache right now when I'm getting ready for a move.
But still... nothing like YOUR haul.
