Place a Classified Ad Here Free! The Antique Wireless Association is now offering free classifieds to all private parties whether AWA members or not. The ads, which must be for items of specific interest to collecting/restoration enthusiasts, will appear both here and in our quarterly publication The AWA Journal. Classified ads should generally be no more than seven lines long, though longer submissions may be accepted if space permits. These on line ads will be updated with each new issue of The AWA Journal. Ads from non members will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis subject to available space in the Journal. Ads may not be carried over from issue to issue, but must be re-submitted each time. Closing date is six weeks prior to first day of month of issue (January, April, July, October). Ads submitted after closing will be held for the following issue. Your ad submissions should be e-mailed to richardransley@mac.com. The Antique Wireless Association provides this advertising space as a service to the community, but will not be liable in any way for the outcome of any buying or selling transaction. Beware of Internet Fraud!! In a very common internet fraud, a prospective buyer will offer to send the seller a check for a generous amount of money and to arrange for packing and shipping the item. The seller is to pay the packer/shipper, deduct his own fee, and return the balance of the money to the buyer. Don't allow your item to leave your hands until you are certain the check will clear!

Our free classified section has been steadily shrinking for the past few years--a casualty of the easy, personal communications made possible on the internet, where people with similar interests can almost instantaneously share their needs and offer items for sale. Yet, the classifieds have always offered access to some of our older members who may not be internet savvy. These are the very people who are most apt to have vintage parts, information, advice and equipment to share. I'll be sorry to see the column go. I've always enjoyed browsing here, and I've more than once been successful in making contact with people who could supply what I needed. Just off the top of my head, I remember a Viking II VFO, a Hallicrafters SX-28 speaker, a Hammarlund HQ-120-X receiver, and an original manual for a Gonset Communicator. These not exactly common items were all made available at reasonable prices and with good will and good wishes. Dick Ransley, the column editor, and I have enjoyed bringing the classifieds to you. And we'll keep them going for a little while longer. Possibly there are people reading this who might be inclined to use the service and reverse the trend. Otherwise, maybe when the ad section becomes smaller than the boiler plate introduction at the top of the column, we can expect to say a sad goodbye to the Journal classified section.--mfe |
