The year from hell

Hi folks,

I am back - back from a year I'd rather forget.
I was away for most of last year and when I returned I discovered I'd lost most of everything I've owned and worked for over the past 40 years in a fire that destroyed the shed where everything was stored.
Tools, test equipment, broadcast and radio equipment, personal items and more.

Here's a brief list of things...

Optimod 8100A/1 (mint condition with RCF-1 and original manual)
Pair of matching Texar Prisms (mint, with phase rotators)
NTI Minilyzer
NTI Minirator
AKG K141 Gold cans
QEI 691 mod monitor
Bird 43 + 25 elements in Pelican 1400 case
Two bench power supplies
Leader LMV-186A dual needle millivoltmeter
JBL Control 1s
Goodwill audio gen
HP 8640B RF sig gen
Aphex 722 Dominator
25W FM exciter
20W FM exciter
350W FM PA
Box of dozens of service manuals
Tait 450-520 MHz RT
Trays of RF adaptors and connectors
Cables
RF loads (200W, 50W)

That's just off the top of my head. There's definitely more. The list I made just keeps growing.
To add insult to injury, I had two vehicles stolen as well, and out of all of this, nothing was covered by insurance (long story).

So, if anyone has anything listed above that they wish to part with, please let me know. I am in New Zealand so shipping has to be considered, but for smaller things it's not too bad.

[For those who don't recognise my username, I used to be 'studio1' - but since moving to this site, I wasn't able to log in so I've just re-invented myself.]
