[Boatanchors] New Year's Sale

[Michael Raskin]

BOATANCHOR NEW YEAR SALE

======================================================



Alpha 76-CA - This is the three tube version with the Peter Dahl Hypersil 
transformer.  Has brand new panel and cabinet, low drive mod, and new 
bleeder resistors.  Looks like it just came from the factory.  $1750



Alpha 87A - Excellent condition.  Not a scratch.  I am the original owner - 
$4000



===================================================================

KWS-1 - Below is the Original text for my KWS-1 I had for sale before we 
were hit by three Hurricanes.  Two were a direct hit. My garage was flooded 
and the Power Supply (lower cabinet) was damaged by approximately one foot 
of water, although the tubes were previously removed.  We took the Exciter 
(upper portion) upstairs before the storms but could not lift the power 
supply.  Consequently, the power supply is damaged.  I will not turn it on 
for fear of damaging it further. I am offering the KWS-1 on an "as is" basis 
with the understanding that is was in a flood.  It doesn't look bad but the 
water damage makes it questionable as to it being able to be repaired.  I 
say that to be safe, knowing that someone out there can make this like new 
again.  As I said, the Exciter (upper cabinet) was stored in a safe place 
and looks great.  Is anyone interested in fixing this one up?  $850. 
Offers, please.



"Original Text"



Collins KWS-1, s/n 1007, with original manual.

The front door of the power supply has a small area where the paint has 
flaked off. Also, one of the back panels has the same. The interior of the 
power supply is clean without any rust although I have not cleaned it. The 
RF deck is CCA "very good" with original paint. The interior of the RF deck 
is very clean. All knobs are original and very clean. All switches and pots 
have been cleaned and the inductor and capacitor mechanical drives have been 
cleaned and lubricated. All tubes have been checked and are good. The 
plastic chart in the RF cabinet lid is original and in excellent condition. 
The RF deck uses 4X250 tubes. The circular dial is bright white. The lock to 
the power supply works and I have the original key.

=================================================

AC power supply and original manual.  This is the first Collins transceiver

go.  Also included is a brand new, still in the original box, Electro-Voice 
600D hand mike - $1750

CCA very good condition.  Not a mark or blemish on it.   Tiny chip on top 
and some lettering scratched lightly on top in rear.  Not usually visible. 
Paint in otherwise excellent condition.  Works perfectly.  This would have a 
Collins Grading of between Very good and but probably excellent if not for 
the light scratch.  Professional copy of manual included - $350

coil sets), $350 for the set of 5 with wood box.  It is nearly impossible to 
find a complete set in the original wood box and I am reluctant to break up 
the set but I will consider individual offers for individual coils if I don't 
sell the complete set.



National HRO-60 Coil Sets.  AA, AB, AC, AD in original wood box (holds 5 
coil sets), $300 for the set of 4 with wood box.  The complete "double 
letter" coils are rare to find.  This offering constitutes ALL of the coil 
sets EVER made by National for the HRO-60 and you will probably never see 
them all offered at the same time ever again.  Preference will be given to 
anyone who wants the complete coil sets as this is something worth 
preserving and keeping together rather than splitting them up.

National  HRO-60 original Instruction Manual.  In exceptional mint 
condition, except for owner's name on the front cover - $40

All listed are "as is" and are available in Stuart, Florida, for inspection 
and pick up this Friday (Dec 31st) through Monday (Jan 3rd).  Please send me 
an email if you are interested in any of the items as items are priced 
fairly and I expect most to go quickly.  I will honor first responders.  Pix 
are available but would prefer that you actually come and see the item. All 
items have been kept in air conditioning, except for the KWS-1 power supply. 
Feel free to make an offer but, please, NO TRADES.  Wife says they all must 
go.
