[Boatanchors] ART-13s, DY-17A, Connectors, TDQ and 24VDC Supply

[Jim DiMauro]

Hi All:

I'm offering the following stuff for sale, local pickup only in northern NJ
(except for DY-17A and ART-13 connectors, which I can have professionally
packed and shipped at your cost).

T-47A/ART-13, good physical condition and complete except for the two 811
modulator tubes.  The case is original, but the top cover and the autotune
knob locks and inserts have been repainted.  I never got around to firing it
up, but the guy I bought it from said it was in working condition.  In other
words, as-is.  BO over $150.  Fair Radio wants $375 for one that looks like
it went over Niagara Falls in a barrel.  Photos:

T-47A/ART-13 parts unit, with CDA-T xtal oscillator unit.  This is the
result of one of the few times I got burned in a deal.  The guy I bought it
from said nothing about the radio being incomplete, but this is what came
out of the shipping box.  No tubes (a couple of photos show tubes; they were
removed for another project after the photos were taken; NO TUBES are
included), no meters, no covers, in other words, what you see is what you
get, except I'll tell you a few things that might not be evident in the
photos: known defects include missing glass vacuum relay contactor, open HV
relay coil, cracked 813 ceramic tube socket, various wires cut.  This one
went over Niagara Falls without a barrel.  Make an offer.  Photos:

ART-13 power input connector, U7 10-pin Cannon female, brand new and unused.
Fair gets $50 for a used one; make offer.  Photo:

DY-17A/ART-13A 28 VDC dynamotor.  Dirty on the outside, very clean on the
inside.  It was supposedly NOS when I got it.  One of the end caps is
dented, but it doesn't affect operation.  I fired it up just to see if the
motor works.  It starts right up, and spins smoothly and quietly.  I made no
other tests.  BO over $100.  Photos:

DY-17A connectors, brand new and unused.  One three-pin female connector for
28 VDC input to the dynamotor, and one 10-pin male connector for HV output
to the ART-13.  Actually, I soldered a cable to the 28 VDC connector so I
could test the dynamotor; the HV connector is untouched.  Make offers.  Dibs
to the buyer of the DY-17A.  Photos:

Power Conversion Products (PCP) FE-24-50B 24 VDC @ 50 A continuous duty
power supply.  Actually, it's a float and equalizing charger for microwave
battery banks, but it works just fine with dynamotors.  It's voltage output
is adjustable over a small range, and you can get nearly 28 VDC out of it.
It's got enough current handling capability to start up the DY-17 without
blinking.  Works, missing only the knob for the equalize timer.  BO over
$150.  Photo: http://webusers.warwick.net/~u1016524/pcpsupply.jpg.

US Navy model TDQ transmitter.  A 280 lb. work of art that puts out a
whopping 45 Watts on AM and MCW in the 100 to 156 MHz range.  I used this
thing for the first ten years of my ham career, and I retired it in the late
1970s.  I brought it out of retirement for a brief period in the late 1980s,
and put it back out to pasture.  I haven't fired it up in 15 years, but it
was in full working order when I shut it down for the last time.  Only two
known defects: a broken meter switch and a broken AC power switch, the
results of moving it one time too many; I have replacements for both.
Manual is included.  $250.  Photo:
