Sweet find man, good frequency range too pretty clean. I was at the grand opening of the GoodWill in my town last month and found a couple of frequency counters. One was a Yaesu with Nixie Tube display.

These old pre-amp speakers from computers are great external speakers especially in the car.

When you buy at Goodwill, can't you just donate an extra fiver as a gesture of good will?
When I buy at the salvation armys shops I try to give a little extra to support people in need.

"And a Goodwill purchase is one you can feel good about – when you make the choice to shop at Goodwill, you’re choosing to support valuable employment, education and training services in your community to help people find a job and get control of their finances. The money you spend stays directly in your community and gives people an opportunity to make a fresh start."

Good point Ubbe! Particularly if they aren't aware of the true value of an item.
