As usual, I have found a way to spend more money that I really ought to. So I am selling some nicer things from my BA collection to raise the missing cash. This stuff will eventually be posted to eBay if no one here wants it.

FOR SALE

HAL ST-6 RTTY TU. This is a partially built kit. The boards have been populated with parts and the panel components have been mounted. But nothing is wired together. The metalwork is pristine, some pieces still paper-wrapped. With manual copy. $100

Standard Model Mac Key, Radio Telegraph Transmitting Key, Mf'd By Theodore R. McElroy, World's Champion Radio Telegrapher, Boston, Mass., USA s/n 5647. Needs cleaned but is in nice original
condition. $220

Military Wireless Set No. 19 Mk II, Contract 26224-PHILIA-43 S/N 13102CRM. These sets are common. But they are seldom seen these days with this many of the original accessories: Power supply, dogbone cable, power cable, mic/headset combination, mount, front cage bars, crystal calibrator (s/n 8160), accessory box, spare tube box with tubes, key, "A" set variometer, "B" set antenna with mount and cable, remote control box and remote cable, canvas cover, "A" set antenna mount, "Call Commander" intercom box and cable, 25 foot mic/headset extension cable and the mic breastplate. The radio, PS, headset key, mount, cage and canvas cover are in excellent condition. The calibrator, accy box and spare tube box are in less good condition but I would still call them "good." This set is electrically untested and being sold as-is. But it is all original and unmodified. It comes with the original manual and the original calibrator manual. $475

Gonset Sidewinder 2 Meter SSB/AM/CW Transceiver s/n G18454 with AC power supply s/n 26144. This is a 1960's vintage AM/CW/SSB transceiver covering all of 2 meters in 4 1MC bands. 20W input on SSB. 9 watts carrier on AM. The snap on AC power supply attached to the back of the radio. cosmetically in very nice original condition but missing one small knob (black fluted with silver end cap). Electrically untested. I did not power this up but I did a visual inspection of the internals and it looks to be in good, original shape. Manual photocopy included. The tube lineup is 1-6360 Final, 1-12BY7A Driver And 1-6EA6. The rest is solid state. $130

Military AN/URM-90 Test Set ZM-30 Bridge s/n 394. This is a 1957-vintage CRL bridge with all the bells and whistles. Built like the proverbial battleship. Several binding post accessory clips for component testing are included. It should have a cover but I don't have that. The front panel is very good, but the cabinet has some scratches. Powers up without smoking but otherwise untested. A manual photocopy from Fair Radio Sales is included. $125

Bird Termaline Wattmeter 6736-030. This is a standard HF wattmeter made by Bird. This was designed to be used with the Bird 67C dummy load which I do not have. In excellent cosmetic condition. Untested but believed to be working. $40

Here's another one that you just will not see advertised for sale anywhere: National Rackmount HRO-60R with rack, coil cabinet and speaker. This comes with an almost complete set of original coils and dial scales including A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, AC and AD. It also has the crystal
calibrator installed. The radio is in very good cosmetic condition and raspy, noisy poor-performing electrical condition. With original manual. $630
