[Boatanchors] stuff to go

[Larry Godek]

Over the weekend i attended a "get rid of everything" function at a 
local ham who went SK all of a sudden.  In-laws said to take everything 
and anything, just get rid of it.

One of the things was a Globe Champ 300 which i know he had used because 
after he got it some 20 years back i had QSO's with him using it.  It 
appears complete which includes the rare 9909 finals and 809 
modulators.  It's heavy and i had a hard time moving it from his house 
to my pickup.  Is there any interest in this?  It's dusty but certainly 
cleanable.

Other things were a pair of TS-520 transceivers, Elmac AF-67, AF-68 
along with a mobile and A/C supply and connecting cables. Also a PMR-8 
and SX-96.  These are/were working units and are really quite clean.

I also brought home some Heathkit items, SB-102, SB-104, IM-2420 
Frequency counter and a SB-634 console.  I've not tested the SB-102 nor 
SB-104 but the IM-2420 and SB-634 appear to be working normally.  Only 
thing on the Sb-634 is that the digits on the timer are not all 
working.  You cans still read the numbers mostly.  The Timer light 
flash's at the end of 10 minutes which tells you that it's time to ID.  
Some of the op's out there could very well use this feature!  The SB-104 
does have the power supply which is external and i think i have the 
cable to goes with it.

Left behind were a couple of NC-300's, an NC-303, junk SP-600's, a P&H 
linear up on it's side with some wires disconnected, a Hallicrafters 
HT-37 and a Viking Thunderbolt mainly because i couldn't lift nor move 
them.  An SX-62 and  SX-101 were also left behind, not in very good 
shape cosmetically and again standing up on there side so he could 
diddle underneath.   All were dusty and it's not known when they were 
used last.  The Thunderbolt had a replacement meter in the top 
position.  Hated to leave that there as it had some good iron in it.

In-laws were having people in this week to "clean everything" out and 
haul what was there, loads of paperwork, HP test gear (old) and you name 
it.  Oh yeah, i didn't take the TR-4, Heathkit Marauder or DX-100 
either.  None of them were in very good shape and like most all of his 
gear was sitting up on it's side.  He was a known tinkerer but very 
knowledgeable as he had quite a background in electronics.

73 Joe, you were one of the good guys.

Any interest for any of this stuff?  Parts?  Due to shipping rates and 
the cost of fuel  these items would be pickup only here in SE Arizona.  
What doesn't work or get spoken for will soon reside in the electronic 
dump as i am wanting to clean out lots of my own personal stuff as well.
