Finally, after several false starts, here is the latest list of stuff I 
need to find new homes for. These items will be shipped from Mobile, AL, 
ZIP 36605. When you offer to buy something, PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR ZIP CODE 
in your e-mail to minimize back and forth e-mails when you ask for the 
shipping charges, etc. The larger items will be shipped via FedEx ground 
and the smaller items will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail or Parcel 
Post unless you are buying several items in which case it will be FedEx. 
I will never use the Unrepentant Package Smashers!

BC-191/375 Tuning Units, one each of three types. These units are new, 
in the original 1942 cartons as delivered by GE. The cartons have been 
opened for inspection by me, but have never been plugged into a 
transmitter. Their only flaw is the acetate covers for the tuning 
charts. The original material has shrunk over the course of 67 years and 
needs to be replaced. I suggest using the thin sheet polystyrene that 
can be obtained from model airplane or train shops. So...
1 each TU-8-B, 6200-7700 KC, with CS-48 case, $30.00
1 each TU-9-B, 7700-10,000 KC, with CS-48 case, $30.00
1 each TU-10-B, 10,000-12,500 KC, with CS-48 case, $30.00

BC-306-A Low Freq Antenna Loading Coil for BC-191/375. This item is not 
in original box but appears to be new/unused. Very slight shelf wear so 
some screw heads need to be touched up. 1 each, $20.00

CMX-23270 Remote Control for TCS-12. New condition but not in original 
box. Contains one HEAVY speaker. 1 each, $25.00

CML-47205 Antenna Loading Coil for TCS-12. Used, good. The bakelite (?) 
panel looks reasonably nice, but the case needs repainting. 1 each, $15.00.

RT-285/URC-11 Survival Radio (243 MHz). Used, very good. WITH the 
CX-1093A/U battery cable, which is pretty much "unobtainium". 1 each, 
$7.50.


C-1200/GRC Control, Radio Set. Look new but a bit grungy with shelf wear 
and tape residue on some of the cases. NOTE: These are virtually 
identical to the RM-52 units that Fair Radio sold for a gazillion years, 
calling them the "Macy's Phone Patch" after a "conversion" article in 
one of the ham radio mags. One unit is missing the nomenclature plate. 
Have 3 each with nomenclature plate @ $5.00 each, plus the one without 
the nomenclature plate for $3.00.

Operator's Control Box for Type RL-5 Interphone Equip. New, no box. 1 
each, $5.00

C-433/GRC Remote Control. Used, very good. 1 each, $7.50

C-434/GRC Local Control. Used, very good. 1 each, $7.50.
NOTE: The C-433 and C-434 were used together to control AN/GRC-3 through 
8 Radio Sets (and others) from a remote position. The two can also be 
used as stand-alone field phones without connection to a radio set. An 
H-33/PT handset is required at each unit for operation. I do not have 
any H-33s.

C-435/GRC Retransmission Control Unit. Used, fair to poor cosmetically, 
very good inside. This unit was used with the AN/GRC-3 through 8 and 
others having two receiver-transmitter units so as to provide radio 
relay capability. 5 each, $10.00 each.

That's all for now, folks, but "watch this space" for more odds 'n' ends 
later. Thanks for reading!
