I'm working on retrieving a large haul of Osborne stuff from the wife of
a former Osborne engineer who passed away earlier this year. Among his
stuff is included the following radio gear, and I was wondering if anyone
here was interested in any of it.

The lady lives a good 4-5 hours from me and I plan to make the trip
sometime in the next couple of weekends. I can bring back whatever radio
gear anyone expresses an interest in and have it shipped out to them.

I don't know what the lady wants for this stuff, so include an offer.
She justs wants it to be out of her garage as she is moving, so any
reasonable offer will probably be fine. Because of the long drive and my
shortage of time these days, I'll want 1.5 * shipping for my trouble on
top of your offer.

The descriptions are terse so if you have any questions about any of the
gear, let me know and I'll try to get answers for you. I don't think she
will be able to answer any heavily technical questions.

Here is what's available:

Navy ships transmitter/receiver put in service in 1944 made by Stromberg
  in England
Navy amplifier same era
WWII Tank Receiver/transmitter made by Weston
Navy Signal corp freq meter with last calibration manual
8' Altec cabinet with tube type modules

I have no idea what this stuff is beyond what the descriptions say.
Please get questions to me within the next couple days so I can send them
out to her all at once.
