[QuadList] Roscor Auction with many VTRs

[Ted Langdell]

And watch out for the auctioneer to start lumping lots together as the day wears on and time runs out.

IIRC,  Bill Seery and at least one other person reported that happening At the rather sparsely attended, tech problem plagued VidiPax auction several years ago. 

With this one, make sure the title is clear, if the item you want were purchased for a client project using the project's money.

There are a lot of waveform monitors, test equipment, cameras, etc.  Some of the items are still new in the original boxes that were to be used in systems that were to be built.
