Nice! Check this out:
I started a new job around 1999 as a consultant, and when I walked into one of the offices for the first time, I noticed something in the corner that caught my eye. Now, as consultants no one had their own office except for the owner, so we rotated into whatever empty space there was that day (since we should have been out billing, dammit). I knew right away what it was and asked the current occupant of the room if he knew who's it was. He said it had been sitting in the corner since they moved into the space and no one had ever touched it in the almost year they'd been there. I asked around and everyone confirmed this (most people hadn't even noticed it, really). I asked if I could have it and no one cared. What was it?
An excellent condition Kenwood TS-430S!
I had only had my ticket for a few years at the time, and it remained my only HF radio for probably 10 years. The radio worked perfect;y and even had CW and SSB filters installed!
Years later I traded it for a mountain bike, and just last year I put that mountain bike on the curb so that someone else could keep the 20-year free stuff train going.
