I've just arrived at that golden age in life, retirement. I'm taking my time to not just sell, but add real value. I have many years of collecting info on McIntosh and JBL audio as well a C band satellite. I pack very carefully. I ship using FedEx.

I have a lot of vintage satellite equipment as I was a pioneer in C band for 30 years. It's taken good care of, and my audio gear is my pride and joy. See my web page at http://electron.org/hobbies.htm for more info. I will be selling non-electronic gear so stay tuned, as they say.

I buy itty bitty stuff like speaker binding posts to repair other things I buy like broken crossovers. When fixed I write a very accurate description, I include the not-so-good things about an item if it's important, honesty is vastly more important than money. That's why my feedback is 100%. I won't sell it if there's a chance it will cause someone grief down the road.

I build from scratch UHF TV antennae and take great pride in adapting the Blonder Tongue goodies I've recently bought on eBay into building a private cable for my home. Add in C band satellite, audio, video, house maintenance and making people happy. The latter is most important as people matter most. Off, and let's not forget rebuilding my record player. You know.. vinyl is making a comeback!

African Queen with Humphrey Bogart, most John Wayne films. Not to many action movies, some romantic, and of course comedy

Beatles, Pink Floyd, Byrds, classical is also important with composers like Bach, Beethoven, Stravinsky and Tschaikovshy. Not necessarly in alphabetical order.

I'm a 60 minutes and CNN news buff. 360 on the History channel. Lately I've been following, of all things, American Idol. This is my second season and it's a validation of why television can be so meaningful as a mass communication media.. I have 4 operating satellite systems including two C band so I have the best of the best to choose from. Many night I read a book.

Things are fun to play with. Houses are nice to refurbish. But the lesson in life I keep coming back to is, the ultimate pleasure comes from knowing and being with people, particularly family.

Satellite and telecommunications pioneer, brought the first legal reception of CNN and MTV into what was then the Soviet Union, back in 1991. Before that I taught telecommunications to Vietnamese signal officers, built a satellite dish owner radio talk station and suffered a depression when it failed to win over cable, by two votes, in the US senate in 1988. Ancient history now that I am retired.

PayPal. Yeah they grab 3% but it sure is convenient and safe. I have survived a PayPal dispute and gotten my money back, what a 4 month journey and 81 emails that was. Also US post office money orders. Cash if you show up at my door, not much else to say about money.

I use FedEx, for packages, period. I have found they damage less than the post office.

Honest people want stuff advertised accurately, packed properly and don't want to return it. I will take stuff back but you have to make a strong case I didn't describe it well. I pace myself in selling so as to not have to many things up at one time, when confusion can really cause stress. I hate stress and hope you do too.

Some people hide, not me. you can call if you wish but don't block your number. 510-562-5681 (recently moved) please leave a message. or email ion@electron.org

McIntosh Amplifiers, SME 3009 tone arm parts, I have a huge and rare collection of telecommunications reference material. Since I'm no longer needing them for work it's time they find a new home. I enjoy the challenge of using my know how to compete in the marketplace. I also have for sale stuff NOT on eBay, such as satellite dish systems. I've managed to somehow find buyers for 2 12 foot dishes in the past 2 years, and I have MORE AVAILABLE. This is strictly custom work. I've done it in Moscow and New Zealand. perhaps my next dish will be in your back yard? If not, sit back and enjoy watching my sales close. Good night and Good Luck.
