Where to get a good wooden racket?

[graycrait]

I have been scrounging around the thrift/antique stores but can't find anything decent. Growing up I played primarily with Wilson Jack Kramer, Wilson Stan Smith, Spalding Poncho Gonzales and Davis Imperial, but mostly with the Kramer.

Anyone know where I could pickup from a reliable source a decent playable Kramer or Trabert ? Strung or unstrung is not an issue, but seeing as I have only been stringing for 18 months it might be a fun challenge to string a wooden racket.

The obvious big auction site is the best place by far. Also try posting a wanted ad on these forums in the classified section.

Goodwill, Play It Again Sports, estate sales, moving sales, the auction sites are where I would look. They do not appear frequently, but they do appear once in a while e.g. every 4-8 months. I would think most older tennis players have already moved on to graphite and have ditched their woodies a long time ago.
