These are new parts. They are teflon and anodized metal.
They have two hole side mounting, with a clip that nicely holds the 
crystal in place.

Great for repairing older rigs, or for homebrewing tube transmitters & receivers.

This is NOT the same as FT243. These are for the  similar sized
crystals that have thinner pins.

For pickup in Potomac, Md. (a Maryland suburb of D.C.)--you can stop 
reading if shipping would be necessary.

Many of you know this RF generator. For those who don't, it's a boatanchor 
classic. It weighs nearly 50 pounds and uses 20 tubes. It covers 50 kHz to 
65 MHz in six bands, directly readable to 1 percent. Two internal crystal 
calibrators (100 kHz and 1 MHz) provide checkpoints with 0.01 percent 
accuracy. Internal modulation at 400 Hz and 1 kHz at up to 90 percent. RF 
output is continuously variable from 0.1 microvolt to 3 volts into 50 ohms. 
Drift is negligible. Two large meters--one reads modulation percentage, the 
other RF output.

I bought this a few years ago from Dee Alquist W4PNT, the guy who does the 
superdeluxe work on EFJ and Hammarlund cabinets and panels. Dee made one 
modification--he wired in a shielded cable that provides RF output before 
the attenuator.

It's a fine piece of equipment but I'm trying to reclaim a bit of space, 
and the 606A is just too big and heavy. It works flawlessly and looks 
pretty good. An excellent manual copy is included in a looseleaf binder 
(each page in its own cover).

If I remember right, I paid Dee $125, and that's my price now.
