"DAK Mark IX" & "DAK D-104" Hear my sad voice getting ready to sell it. I'm a Big Dummy for selling

[@q95oldies57]

Nice. I had one years ago, regret selling it.

[@bigcbradio]

I was sad to see it go, but it was time to let someone else enjoy it.

[@kevinunknown6457]

What I wont know is, how much did it sell for?

[@bigcbradio]

top secret

[@spaceflight1019]

Everyone and everything has a price. Everyone knows what things sell for online. When the money is right, it's time to sell.

[@445videogates4]

Yea,i sold my DAK X in pretty decent condition to Ken the rotor guy in ala.I know the feeling.

[@bigcbradio]

I didn't really use it much, but I still wish I hadn't sold it 😭... but I did end up making a couple real quick videos of it just before he got here and bought it. I will post them in a little while.

@@bigcbradio Pay them for their fuel and tire wear and send them on their way. WITHOUT DA RADIO. hahaha! Seriously.

[@bigcbradio]

@@MrPocketfullOfSteel HaHa... it's gone

[@MrPocketfullOfSteel]

@@bigcbradio BOOM! U funny. lol

[@PhoenixRising251]

The Rotor Guy is a really upstanding dude. Known and talked to him for years.

[@rongehlken8725]

It’s going to a good home.

[@bigcbradio]

You Think So? LOL

[@MrPocketfullOfSteel]

Money ain't everything, fellas. Especially when it comes to superb pieces such as this. #DUMMIES lol

[@bigcbradio]

I didn't sell it for the money. I just felt bad it sat here for 18 years unused

[@spaceflight1019]

​@@bigcbradioI try to cycle everything in my collection through and run it for a week before putting it back on the shelf.

[@ironhead320]

Sweet rig

[@bigcbradio]

10-4, Thanks

[@PhoenixRising251]

I honestly can't believe you sold that gorgeous radio. The only reason I didn't buy one a few years back was I couldn't find ANYONE willing to work on it if something went wrong with it.

[@bigcbradio]

Tubes, transistors, resistors, diodes, etc.... are all the same. It doesn't matter what brand radio those parts are in, either you know how to work on electronics or you don't.

[@PhoenixRising251]

@@bigcbradio I was thinking the same thing but every single shop I contacted within 250 miles radius said they wouldn't touch it. Still scratching my head on that one.

[@bigcbradio]

@@PhoenixRising251 Some shops only wanna do the easy mods that make em good money. Other shops only know how to do a few things they learned by watching someone and they aren't really techs. I work on all my own stuff so I do understand that sometimes it takes a long time to diagnose and repair stuff even when you do know what you are doing. How can you charge someone many hrs labor plus parts on a radio that is cheaper to just replace? That's why I don't do repairs for customers, I just have fun fixing/tuning my own.

[@PhoenixRising251]

@@bigcbradio Yes most shops want "quick money". Thanks for your input sir.
