Vintage Infrared Photorelay

Bought: $11.30 Sold: $34.62 Fees: $4.51 Profit: $18.81

This is a vintage, though new in box, infrared photorelay - it shoots out a laser and if the laser is broken it makes a loud noise. A very early version of a burglar alarm, or notification of someone having entered your shop. It was sold by Radio Shack, though the Canadian version of this was called Archer, and the american version, which were the exact same, had a different name. This meant that mine was less easy to find on eBay, but I figured that it might be found by a Canadian, and it was! This is off to Newfoundland - my first to that province. I picked this up at VV, and while a bit pricey, it paid off. Vintage electronics usually have a desire, and having the box always helps. I was a bit worried that this wold take a while to sell, but I'm glad to be proven wrong.
