Really, you have a short and very selective memory
I only know of someone who sold a fully-working FT101E because
he needed the space it was taking up.
You don't know the FT101E was fully working because you didn't have the
requisite knowledge or ability to tune it up - or for the sake of complete
accuracy - to manipulate the Preselector.

You have misunderstood my comments about the preselector, but
then truth has never been your strong point in your obsessive pursuit
of abusive infantile remarks, has it? You really are a silly billy
contributing
nothing of value to this NG; you are re-iterating the same tedious
attempts at insults over and over again. Get a life, mate.

(The amount of QRN and waste of bandwidth that you are bringing to this
NG could mean that you are a sock puppet of Mrs.Nugatory who has
disappeared from the scene as you arrived on it.)

Please get your facts correct. An insult is only successful when it is
truthful,
and of concern to the victim that you intend to bully. So far, nothing that
you have sneered about so far is of concern to me but it is an increasing
vista of your own psyche....no wonder you feel the need to hide behind
the playground fence! I have always been open and honest in my dealings
with this NG, even going so far as to give "diaries" of my daily problems
in order to encourage others....even those of us who have been around for
a few years make mistakes. Unfortunately there are a number of you, you
and OSN being the usual suspects, who seize on such admissions and make
fools of themselves by public outburts of childish sneering. What is
disturbing
about OSN is that not only is he a schoolteacher but also the chief
L.I.A.R.
of the RSCB. How can someone who sneers so volubly at any expression
of infallibilit possibly be entrusted to positions of responsibility for the
education and training of others?

It is time to put this matter to rest, if only to reduce the QRN in the
NG.....

I _DO_ know that that FT101E was fully working because once the RA17
had gone out the door, I realised that perhaps I did have room for the
FT101E
after all, and two months later I purchased it back off the guy I sold it
to, who,
being a collector and restorer of such things, already had a number of them,
and who was able to provide me not only with a complete operator's manual
for it (with all the pages in it!) but also a maintenance manual for it.

This all happened ten years ago, long before you silly people decided
to harp on about it and demonstrate to us all, the international readers
of this NG, what utter fools you all are.
