I always liked the story of the guys that advertise classic cars and bait the crooks into paying shipping for one overseas....then send them a container full of smashed pianos!!! Ouch....what a shipping bill!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I might buy your stuff from the post office and not know what it is!!!

Ok, I got in contact with a very helpful woman from Preston...I think her name was Laticia. She was able to get in contact with the previous owner of the item (who is from Spain) and we are going to see if he is willing to buy back the property with his insurance money (Make sure you insure properly!!) I will be able to help him get his claim paid ASAP if he files it through the USPS...since I just bought it from them and they know me by name at the MRC. The camera is having trouble transmitting as Alpheo tested it. It worked fine hardwired but may need a repaired/new transmitter (or MT ....whatever). I want to try to sell it to the previous owner first...but if he is wanting me to GIVE it back or claims it's still his property I would have to decline him(ETA: as I drop a GOOD bit of money on these blind auctions...anyone wishing to see prices I paid can request my receipt copies)...hope this is clear to everyone...the good people at Preston understood after I had to explain the process of possession to them. If those of you are still intersted I will contact you back once the previous owner decides what to do.

I have an advanced member from the Atlanta area coming to the house within the hour to test it, I'll let anyone who is reightfully skeptic know who he is by IM if it helps everyone be less suspicious.

As far as knowing what it is I did have an idea....but didn't know if it had to be linked as a "System" with other comonents for it to work, etc...I also saw a retail amount for what one goes for and realize that that means nothing in the second hand business... i've received HAM radio components that retail sites have for thousands yet are obsolete and only go for slight fractions of what the "new retail" go for. I just needed an opinnion from those of you that actually know about this stuff. Thanks...

I am in a picture on a photography website about 4 or 5 links down on the google search....I obviously am not in the camera business...the website is actionshots4u You should find some pics of me at my real job there...which isn't a mechanic either. I contacted Preston with the S/N and they do have arecord of someone from Mexico loosing it in the US Mail and they are trying to contact him...You can google the USPS Mail Recovery Center in Atlanta as well...it's on Fulton Industrial Blvd. Hope this helps.

I bought a pallet of auto parts from the USPS dead mail auction. I sometimes get some random A/V cables and accessories with the auto parts and found this sitting in it. It has MDR-2 on the side and Microwave Transceiver on the top. Looks just like the pics of one on the Preston site....I had gotten stuff before that was obsolete but it appears this is far from that....it's in good shape. Post a pic, share the serial number and let the bidding begin!! Are we allowed to do that? I didn't want to break the forum rules as this isn't a for sale forum...it says only certain members can sell and I was just trying to see if this was worth messing with/get some feedback about what I have. I can post pics here but here are the pics, I had to peel away the velcro to see the wording, so thats all the sticky gunk thats on it. Here they are:

I have some equipment that I am not all that familiar with. Basic internet searches have left me stranded and I'm going crazy. It is marked as a Preston MDR-2 Microwave Transceiver. I have no clue if this will only work with certain other equipment or what...I don't own any other camera equipment and am looking for some help....what do I have???? Junk???
