Let me put this more into perspective.  What i've mentioned are just a 
couple of items.  Most of it is Rtty orientated other than the two 
panadapter/spectrum analyzer items.  There is also a half dozen Northern 
Radio units, some rtty and a couple of VMO's.  I also have a Dovetron 
MPC1000CR and an IRL FSK-1000 terminal unit that is excess to my needs. 
  For $175 i would sell my 28 KSR with 3 speed gearshift as it may not 
have a home later and i certainly don't want to set it out on the curb.

There is also a DZ-1 in nice condition, some ARC-38 control heads, a 
Bendix RA-2() and a control head for same (both units have the 
connectors), a TT-63 regenerator, a Partially working R-390A, a big 
Westinghouse cabinet with a 4-1000 amp in the top.  The cabinet also 
contains the power supply for this amp along with a modulator section 
that has a pair of 450T() tubes in it.  Fully metered, runs from 220Vac. 
  There is lots of stuff and i mean lots of stuff in boxes, to much to 
list individually.  Some other military pieces including a BC-1335 
that's clean as a pin inside and a PE-120-B power unit.  A couple of 
variac's of different capacity, one of which is pretty good size, an 
ex-telephone co rectifier for charging a 24V string of batteries, think 
this will go to 30V and has 20 or 25 amp capacity.  A BC-312-N (12V) 
with FT mounting.  Nice clean good working radio.  A nice clean 
BC-344-D.  Never fired this one up so don't know any more about it. 
Lots of command set transmitters, a couple of receivers, racks, control 
heads and whatever else.  A couple of LM freq. meters and i think there 
are a couple of AC supplies as well.

QST and CQ from the 40-50's.  A portable Motorola signal generator and a 
URM-25D with about all the accessories that came under the lid.

I'm thinking about disposing of the Collins 150-S-() transmitter, 
details available if your interested, contact me off list.  I've got a 
28 KSR with 3 speed gearshift and 4-5 boxes of paper and numerous rolls 
of tape for the punches out there.

There is a GE Deskmate with ac power supplies and Progress line 
receiver/transmitter in it and i have a variety of other Progress line 
stuff as well.  This was neat and easy gear to put on the ham bands back 
in the late 60's-early 70's when i got the chance to play with it.  Most 
of what i have is VHF and UHF but someplace in the boxes i have a 
receiver to convert down to 29.6 Mc.

I could also carry a Johnson Viking II and 122 VFO along on the trip for 
$225.  It's a really nice clean transmitter and i'd give it an 8 for 
cosmetics.  Needs a set of 6146 non B tubes.  The B tubes definitely 
aren't for this thing.  It's fairly heavy so shipping would not be in 
it's best interest.

There's also some TMC pieces.  An SBE exciter and power supply ($400) 
and a couple of STE exciters, $35 ea..  Two tuning head for the FRR-49 
receiver that are excess as i no longer have any of the receivers, $20 ea..

There are numerous handbooks and call books and other technical books 
also packed away.

4 file cabinets with technical information on radio and aircraft related 
  topics.  A 18 inch stack (approx.) of B-24 technical manuals.  AAF 
data including Route manuals, information files and a lot of misc. stuff 
from W.W.II.  No i won't donate it to the CAF.  They are overloaded with 
donations and there is no guarantee of where it would end up.

I'm just touching the edge of this stuff.  I know you can't ask about 
something if i don't mention it but honestly i sometimes don't know what 
all is there.  Probably most of it is going to end up in the dumpster 
cause i'm going to run out of time.

Hopefully this isn't overwhelming.  Just ask.  Thanks for listening or 
reading whichever.
