Spring Cleaning (a little late) ... 38 / 54 Rouse Tech hardware and a pair of Gizmos - for sale

I have managed to accumulate some duplicates and/or under-utilized hardware, and now is the time to pass them along. I also have a few built kits that need to move to make room for the upcoming Biggest Jayhawk in the World project. (All proceeds from this sale go directly into the 17" diameter mega Jayhawk build, so by proxy you can be part of the team!) Not planning on shipping anything just yet, this round is intended for face-to-face handoff in the tri-state area (N Illinois, S Wisconsin, NW Indiana), with free delivery to Bong, Princeton, New Berlin sod field, or Hughes farm launches. I will accept cash, personal check, or an I.O.U. from known individuals for all transactions. Everything listed was purchased new by me, all histories known and proper care/cleaning given. PM me and I'll hold them for you (in the order PM received).

will sell for $180 complete or $120 for just the motor section and av bay, (without payload body tube or nose cone, which will fit my Formula 200 av bay, and I am particularly fond of the Pink Floyd “Back Catalogue” wrap by Stickershock).
