had a real nice encounter today with Mr. Koenigs, the Becker "Pope". I got a defect, part-missing Becker Mexico from around 1975 that I wanted - maybe - trade-in for an electric Hirschmann antenna for my W111. He first said no, but he owns a W111 convertible too. I described the unit and he offered 50 Euros for it, which I gratefully accepted.
So I sent the Mexico back and last night I opened the parcel with the antenna. On the invoice he deducted 80 Euros. I called him today to thank him and he told me, that the unit was in better shape than expected and he wanted to be fair ... also regarding future business.

How good is that, these days?
Best regards
Thomas
