So we recently lost my grandfather, who was a huge free flight model aeronautics enthusiast his entire life. One of the things in his collection was a Walston Retrieval System. Much of his equipment is only useful to the (rapidly dwindling) free flight community, but Google tells me that you guys find these systems useful.
It's a six channel system, with three different transmitters - for channels 1, 3, and 6. Hopefully I will figure out how to post pictures. The unit is in good but old condition - I believe it was purchased almost twenty years ago. The direction finder is in perfect condition and it comes with a whole slew of batteries - unfortunately I'm not sure when they were purchased so I can't vouch for them still being usable.
He's got a tag on it for $200, I'm not sure if he intended to throw in the transmitters for that price but we will be including them and asking for the buyer to pay shipping. Not sure what shipping will cost - it's not particularly heavy but the DF portion is a few feet long. It will be securely packed, insurance is optional but recommended.
On to the pics - please cross your fingers for me:

I have some more pics of the unit and the instructions (which are included) if anyone needs. We are hoping to have the house emptied soon, and will end up donating it if it isn't purchased soon. Feel free to contact me with any questions or for more pictures! Thanks for looking!
Edit: well, that didn't work. Here goes try #2... Well, I figured out how to make them be links, at least, and I'll try to turn them into actual images when I get back to the hotel this evening.
