We had some pretty wild thunderstorms on Sat, and I lost my veteran PSR-500 to a power surge. We took a nearby lightening strike, and the resulting power surge fried the wall wart and power circuit to the scanner. Sadly, it was my only scanner without surge/static protection--plugged directly into the wall by my recliner, naturally. And yes, I should've known better.
So if any WV folks still use a PSR-500--for whatever time there may be before the big SIRN TDMA switch takes place in your area--my loss is your gain. Parts are hard to come by on these old units, and I'm happy to mail you the old girl for your parts picking pleasure--free of charge. Call me sentimental, but it seemed a sacrilege to just toss that faithful old scanner into the garbage can when I know someone out there may need a part to keep their own scanner going.
Besides, this is one less item that I'll have to take to our local landfill, where every week, a guy in a pick up truck next to mine invariably says: "Hey, are you throwing that out?"
