Gonset 2 meter Communicator IV and M C Jones MM-1 For Sale:
Gonset 2 meter Communicator IV:
This vintage unit is in extremely nice condition. I brought
it up slow on a variac, and all is well. No hum evident!
The receiver works as it should. I listened to a local net using
a dummy load. The transmitter puts out just under 15 watts.
Cosmetically, the unit is extremely nice. No major defects,
although I will guarantee you will find some dust.
This one includes the 120 V AC power cord, paper work, and a
spare final tube (remember when we all kept a spare final "just
in case"?).
Only $125. Pick up near Ocala FL would be great, but it can be
shipped if needed, which is obviously not included for $125.
M C Jones "Micro Match" MM-1:
The "Micro Match" is one of the very, very early SWR bridges.
It is made by M C Jones Electronics of Bristol, Conn. I do not
know the exact vintage, but would guess in the 1940's or 50's.
The MM-1 is certainly related to the more common Model 261,
262, and 263 units. Paper work from them is included, since
they are similar.
This unit has both SO-239 and BNC connectors on each side, in
parallel, so that either can be used. A toggle switch is on top
(for forward/reflected power, I assume), with a range switch on
the left, and SWR adjust control on the right, and the meter in
the middle.
Own this vintage piece of equipment for only $25 plus shipping
from Florida.
I also have many other accessories available such as many
different types of microphones, HTs, HF, VHF and UHF rigs, HF
and VHF/UHF antennas, etc.
Just too many to list here. Please e-mail your requests.
Thanks.
73,
