Due to the recent acquisition of a SC-101, I am offering for sale my prized
312A-1 lighted speaker, formerly owned by Frank Guenther, W2ALS.
To this 312A-1 grill (it was designed to have purchasers add devices) has
been professionally added a Collins 302C-2 wattmeter complete with 1 KW
directional coupler, and the art deco design Telrex rotor control unit. The
chrome ring has a unique decorative design enhancing the display. Included
as well for this rotor control is a new matching GE selsyn in the event the
owner would like to sync a rotor to the display.
This 312A-1 has original paint, no chips anywhere though couple minor
blemishes do exist otherwise it would be described as "mint". It includes
the 40 watt frosted lumiline bulb, perfect sockets, proper endcaps, and
chrome shield. The speaker is solid and sounds wonderful.
For those who are not familiar with W2ALS and his history of contribution to
radio, see this QCWA link about his passing in 1999
http://www.qcwa.org/w2als-sk.htm Among his many achievements was his
implementation of the first ever two-way police radio in Bayonne, NJ.
To view pictures of the unit, please see the following link and the 312A-1
owned by W2ALS heading http://home.earthlink.net/~nj2r/
Because of the added units and its historical significance, I am asking
$1500 which will include shipping.
Please contact me off list if interested.
73, Roger, NJ2R
