Unfortunately, my wife would "kill" me if she even thought that I was spending that kind of money!
Being on a "fixed income" makes buying things like a 75A1 a pretty remote possibility. Now, trading for one is something quite different.

I haven't looked today but yesterday there was another 75A1 on that bay place, running just over $200 at the time. It was claimed to need some cleaning, as I recall, but the panel didn't look bad. If I had more room I may would spring for it as it would make a good winter project, but between the wife, my Mom and myself, I have enough winter and summer projects till last till I push up lilies or tulips or whatever.
Would love to trade nearly all of my HF stuff, though, for a single KWM2A with PS, but the bay place doesn't make a good trading ground. I sure wouldn't trade anything for a 75A1 as badly as I wanted one a year ago. Decided I can do without a 75A1 and 32V-1, 2, 3. Even at good prices, space here is at a premium.
But the other 75A1 would be neat for someone with time to do some restoration.
... And with space!

And she will say that I have too many "toys" already!
I am just lucky that she doesn't put coal in my sock!

One Christmas, while wandering through the grocery store, I found some licorice "coal"... gave it to my step-dad, who still has it. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

If I would buy something like that, my wife would stuff coal so far up my "stocking," I'd cough up diamonds.
