[Boatanchors] Items for sale

[Hudson, Steve (RBI-US CMD)]

Cleaning out the shack in preparation for a move, the following are for
sale. All plus shipping from 30004.


9. Stancor GSD-100 230-to-115-volt conversion transformer. Looks to be in
great shape. Mounting feet show no sign of ever having been mounted to
anything, though one of the four mounting feet is slightly bent. Primary
230v, secondary 115v 100 VA. Connecting cables built in, with what I assume
is European-style plug on one end and American-style 3-wire female connector
on other end. $10.

13. Bourns 3400-S-201 200-ohm ten-turn wirewound pot. Blue case.
Quarter-inch shaft. It was obviously pulled from something at some point but
is smooth and checks out fine. $3.

16. Heathkit HD-10 electronic keyer, the old green one. Good condition,
works fine. $30.

18. Variable capacitor. Hammarlund. Ceramic frame stamped "MC-325-N." 43
plates, spacing about 21 plates per inch. Offset quarter-inch shaft. Appears
to be brand new. $7.

20. Variable capacitor. Hammarlund, brass plates, ceramic frame. Two
threaded mounting holes in feet, also threaded for panel mounting.
Quarter-inch centered shaft. Total of three plates, plate spacing about 1/16
inch, plates 1.5 inches in diameter. Solder on lugs indicates it has been
used, otherwise in very good condition. $6.

22. Ten Tec 1054 "4-Band Shortwave Receiver Kit," new in package, unbuilt.
$25

23. Meter 0-1.5 DC amps, Westinghouse. Meter has square face, approx 3x3
inches, fits in round hole approx. 2.75 inches. $4.

24. Meter 0-1 milliamp, Weston. Meter has round face about 3.5 inches in
diameter, fits in round hole approx. 2.75 inches. $4.

25. Meter 0-50 milliamp, Triplett, meter has square face about 2.5 inches on
a side and mounts in round hole about 2.25 inches. $4.

26. Meter Triplett 0-200 microamps. Meter has slightly rounded square face
measuring about 3.5 inches on a side and mounts in round 2.75 inch hole. $5.

27. Meter Micronta 0-50 microamps. Slightly rounded rectangular face 2.75w x
2.25 h. Mounts in approx 1 inch round hole. $4

28. Meter 0-5 milliamps. Westinghouse. Square face, 2.25 in. on a side,
mounts in round hole just over 2 in. $4.

29. Meter Micronta 0-15 DC volts. Slightly rounded rectangular face 2.75w x
2.25 h. Mounts in approx 1 inch round hole. $4

30. Parks Electronics Model 50-1 six-meter receiving converter. Built in AC
p/s. Uses 6CW4 and 6U8. 36 mhz xtal, 14 mhz IF. SO239 input, RCA output.
Haven't used it in a long time. Quick check lets me hear 50 mHz GDO signal
on 14 mhz receiver, but I suspect it needs alignment. $12.

31. Ameco Model CN 2-meter converter, 14 mHz IF, with matching Model PS-1
power supply. This is the one where the converter plugs into the power
supply. Converter uses three 6DS4 Nuvistors and one 6J6. Crystal is 43.333
mhz. Typical Ameco good condition outside, beautiful inside. Worked fine
when last used, but haven't used it in many years. $20 for set.

32. Variable capacitor. This is an unusual one, obviously pulled from some
sort of (probably military) equipment. The cap has a total of 15 plates (8
rotor, 7 stator) with a center-mounted shaft and plates just a bit over 1.5
inches in diameter. The shaft measures 5/8 inches in diameter. On one end of
the shaft is a spring-loaded split gear that likely once matched a worm
drive of some sort. One end (front?) is mounted on a metal plate with a
second small screwdriver-adjust gear, apparently for some sort of fine
tuning. The cap has ceramic frames on both ends and feels as though it's
turning on ball bearings. This would likely be a great VFO cap with a
suitable drive arrangement. $3

33. Variable capacitor. A neat little split stator unit, ceramic frames on
each end, "BUD" embossed on front ceramic. Faint printing appears to read "8
MMFD, which looks about right for each section. Plates are about
three-quarters of an inch in diameter. Centered quarter-inch shaft. Each
section has two rotor and one stator plate, with a 360 degree metal shield
plate on the rotor arm between the sections. This cap appears to be new,
judging from the condition of the solder lugs. $5.

34. Two center insulator units, the PVC kind with an SO-239 on the bottom
and steel eyes on each side of the top for securing wire. One is white PVC
with no label; the other is gray/black with "W2AU" embossed on the top cap
and a metal grounding strap running from the SO-239 on the bottom to the
metal hanger eye on the top. The white one is physically identical to my
"Hy-Q Balun" but since it has no label remaining I can't say for sure that's
what it is. Both show minimal DC resistance between the two terminals,
suggesting that both are balun/insulator combinations. Both have wire bits
on the eyes from earlier antennas. $6 each, or both for $10.

36. Heath HD-16 code practice oscillator. Good condition and works fine.
$10.

37. Heath IN47 capacitor substitution box. The old one, in the black
bakelite case. 18-position switch switches .22 to .0001. $15.

38. MFJ "CMOS Keyer" in unknown condition. Uses Curtis 8043 chip, which is
in the socket on the board. I bought this a few years back from a ham who
said "It used to work, until that there wire broke," pointing to what
appears to be the battery wiring. I never pursued it and so it is strictly
as-is. Inside is a bit rough. $3.

40. Meter. Simpson, 0-500 microamps DC, 2.75 inch diameter round face,
mounts in 2.25 inch hole. Brand new. $6

41. Bag of about 40 panel-mount pots. $5.

44. Pair of Sylvania 6146B/8298A tubes. In Sylvania boxes. $14 for both.

45. RCA 6146A (in 6146B box). $6.

46. MFJ Telepatch II Deluxe Hybrid Phone Patch. Excellent shape. $12.

48. Heathkit Model B-1 "Balun Coil Set." This is the old classic in the big
gray box. Inside are two pieces of bifilar-wound Airdux-style coil stock,
each about 2.5 inches in diameter and about 4.5 inches long, connected as a
balun. Input is SO-239, output is a pair of ceramic binding posts. A few
white paint spots on the cabinet. $25.

49. Bag of 8 AA-size nicad betteries, "PowerSonic" brand,
"PS-AA-1.2V600mAh." Some have been soldered together. I acquired these with
a 2 meter HT several years ago; the former owner said he was assembling a
battery pack from them to power the radio. Condition unknown. $3 for the
bag.

50. Heathkit ID4101 "Electronic Switch." Looks great, but I've never used
it! $18.
