   Despite several promises from several sources, there were no claimers for the   
   Soldering Set. So, the offer will be repeated in September.    
      
   For the record, and even with the weather on Friday, the meet was extremely   
   well attended and a good time was had by all!  The weather cleared very nicely   
   Friday afternoon, so the dinner, fireworks and libations (single-malt scotch   
   and cheap beer as well    
   as many non-toxic options) and the bonfire went very well. A link to pictures   
   will follow soon.   
      
   There was LOTS of stuff this meet, more audio than I have seen in a good   
   while, at least half-a-dozen Predicata TVs (all working!!), and radios, of   
   course. One gentleman had a Marantz 7B & 8B, the latter of which had a shorted   
   OPT, and therefore *sold*    
   for a mere $2,000. Lots of McIntosh - I repaired a pre-amp at the clinic - it   
   was damaged in transport so needed some pulled wires repaired, and a few other   
   goodies.    
      
   A good time was had by all.
