I will be going to bed shortly (my wife has to be up at 4AM), and I will have t consider that to be the end of my offer. As desparate as you sounded, I figured you would be checking all day and fielding offers from the community you have belonged to so many day (I have read all of your post). Good luck on getting the www.oldtvforum.com and www.basementcleaners.com members to help you out and buy your crap.

If the woman decides to divorce you she'll get half what you own minus the debt so may as well have her earn her share.

I'm always on the hunt for rare vacuum tubes, collectors pay dearly for these...

There's just one problem Alloy, we don't all have your kind of brain. See, a lot of us are intelligent folks, sure, but while you can probably store a Wikipedia article's worth of info about vintage vacuum tubes made in three towns along the Rhine River in eastern Germany, AND remember where all the 23 tubes you personally own are in your shop at any moment, I on the other hand still have to look at the instructions on the back of the Mac & Cheese box because I haven't made it in 4 days.
