	pickup
Message-ID: <6.0.1.1.2.20050204110420.0425b690@ntpop.usnews.com>

Last August I purchased a 585A, mainly because I couldn't resist. I've used 
it exactly twice, and would like to sell it for what I paid, which was 
$100. I'll paste the seller's description, which I found accurate to the 
extent that I actually used any of the add-ons, below my name. (He did not 
include 7 probes, however; when I came to pick up the scope a couple of 
them didn't work. I'll include what he did provide.) The manual that came 
with it was for a 585, but I found an original manual for the A model and 
will include that. The seller also threw in a Tek 107 square wave 
generator, operating condition unknown, minus power cord and manual. I'll 
include that, too.

Local pickup ONLY. I'm in a Maryland suburb of Washington, D.C.

Feel free to call me at 202-955-2609 office, 301-983-2407 home. Warning: 
I'm not a scope guru and can only answer the most basic questions, e.g., is 
there a trace? (Yes.)

Avery W3AVE

Original seller's description:
I have a rather nice, albeit vintage, Tek 585A 100mhz scope with an 82A
dual-trace plug-in.  Both of these units work perfectly and are in
remarkably nice condition.  I have the books and an excellent 500/53A
scope mobile cart to go with it. There are about 7 probes (all good)
included.   Additionally, I'll add a CA and Z plug in, and a Type 81
plug-in adapter.  The latter are un-tested but appear fine.

For Sale:

Vintage dual meter SWR bridge

Calrad Model 65-287

This SWR bridge has two separate meters.  One 
reads forward power and one shows SWR.  It is
good for 3 to 150 MHz, so can be used on 6 and
2 meters as well as HF.  Of course it is 52 ohm,
and has SO-239 connectors on each end.

I think this same meter was made with many labels
on it over the years.  It looks the same as Swan, 
Quements, Monarch, and maybe others.

This particular meter works fine, and is still in its
original box, complete with paper work.

$40 plus shipping from Florida.

For Sale:

Clegg 22er FM 2 meter transceiver

This rig uses a solid state receiver with a ceramic
filter, and a hybrid transmitter using 4 tubes.  It is
crystal control transmit, but variable tune receiver,
tuning from 146 to 148 MHz.  I would expect about
35 or 40 watts out, as it uses a 6883 final (12 V 
version of a 6146).

This rig is being sold as a parts rig, but it may work
fine.  It is missing the power cord, which terminates
in a 15 pin Cinch Jones plug.  Obviously, I can not
test it.  It may work fine.  Everything appears like it
would, but I do not have a schematic, so can not
make a power cord.  Cosmetically, the front panel
is OK, but the top and sides have spots missing
paint.

$20 plus shipping from Florida.  The tubes and filter
are worth more than that!

Thanks.

The DMS-3200 was a benchtop "mainframe" for a line of benchtop test 
instruments Hickok called a digital measuring system (hence the DMS). The 
mainframe consisted of a 3-digit Nixie readout, power supply, controls, and 
interface. The various plug-ins slid into an opening in the front. The 
DP-150 was a 1MHz counter. (Others included a digital DC voltmeter, event 
counter, ohmmeter, and capacity meter.) The 1968 price was $375 for the 
mainframe and $230 for the 1MHz counter.

I have the original manuals for these two pieces, in excellent condition, 
along with a technical data brochure for the entire system of instruments. 
All three for $15, 1st class shipping included.
