All: I am in the process of weeding out my boatanchor / junk pile.  Here's
what I have so far. Please contact off-list if interested in any of this.
All is as-is:

a. Telex CS-61 monaural dual-muff headset with noise-cancelling
low-impedance boom mike.  I used it for some time but haven't used it in a
while.  It was most successful in a high-noise environment (2m rig in a
private aircraft).

b. MFJ 16010 small, low-power antenna tuner in beige case (no longer listed
in the MFJ catalog; may be early vintage).  Tuner is well-used with numerous
scratches on cover.  Glue that holds balun toroid to bottom of case has
failed, so it rattles; this could be corrected with some more glue or a
nylon screw and nut.

c. MFJ 901B Small, low-power antenna tuner in black case (it's a clone of
the 16010 above).  Tuner is well-used with numerous scratches on cover and
two small holes in top (perhaps someone might have mounted it under a
dashboard or a shelf?).

d. McMartin 8-watt monaural amplifier (solid state) with microphone and
auxiliary inputs.  Used at one time with R-390a receiver.

e. 50-ohm Cantenna-like dummy load.  I got this from another ham minus the
can and with the resistor support needing work.  I put in the appropriate
screws and purchased an empty 1-gallon paint can for it.  No oil has ever
been in the can.  I acquired a Drake 1000-watt dry dummy load, so I sure
don't need this one.

f. HP 200CD rack-mount wide-range audio oscillator (about 5 Hz-600kHz).
I've owned this for about 25 years.  Oscillator works; vernier adjustment no
longer reliably drives main frequency adjustment knob (slips).  I just
ignored the vernier.  I have since acquired a sand-state generator that
meets most of my needs.

g. Unknown power supply, possibly for CB amplifier.  About 600 VDC no load
(I believe it's a full-wave bridge rectifier), 12 VAC, negative bias output.
Might be useful for a Command Set transmitter, or similar.

h. Motorola L3212A tone remote desk console.  Needs coiled cord.  Condition
unknown.

i. Symetrix A-220 stereo audio amplifier.  Used with Collins R390A.  Case is
rough; I replaced the audio brick IC to repair it.  I believe I have a spare
brick for it.

j. Hickok classroom-grade (read cheap) RF generator (100 kHz-30 MHz).  Basic
signal source.

k. Central Electronics Model A Sideband Slicer.  I purchased it and never
got to even open it up.

l. Monaural paging amplifier (solid-state).  70 V output.  I thought it
might make a nice modulator for someone.  Needs some cap replacement.

As I continue to identify stuff to get rid of I'll list it.  There's some
more stuff (both hollow and sand state) to decide on.

Thanks,
Dave WB4FUR
