Message-ID: <002e01c86f04$8fb427c0$f801000a@kendell>

For Sale:

Microphone for Heath "Lunchbox" Series
This is the ORIGINAL microphone for the Twoer, Sixer, 
and others of the "Lunch Box" series.
It is the original Turner microphone, with the Turner name 
on the front, cotton covered cord, and single button 
microphone connector.
It is in extremely nice shape. No problems with the cord or 
connector, and the mic itself even has a bit of the "sheen" 
left on it. I no longer have a rig to test it on, but I did connect 
it to a scope and get a nice pattern, indicating all is working 
well.  $35 

High Impedance Heath Hand Microphone
Not a GH-12 mic, but similar. It is a white mic that came 
with Heath gear, and says Heath on the front. It is Hi Z, 
and has the 2 pin Amphenol connector on it, as used by 
much of the older Heath gear.  It would be ideal for the SB 
and HW series, plus many others, including non-Heath rigs. 
It works fine, and is in good shape.  $30

Heath HM-15 SWR Bridge
This unit matches the Heath SB (and also HW) line in styling.
It is an SWR Bridge that covers from 160 thru 6 meters, with 
SO-239 connectors on the back. The front has the meter on 
the left, and two knobs to the right. It is the same size as the 
HD-15 phone patch. This one is in very nice shape. 
Paper work included for $20.

Heath AM-2 SWR bridge
This unit was made to match the older transmitters such
as the DX-35 and DX-40.  The manual says it covers 160 
thru 2 meters. Everything is original. It works fine.  Paper 
work is included for $18.

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.

Microphones For Sale:

Shure 444 desk microphone
This desk mic is ideal for many rigs, especially those 
that are vintage.  The 444 has voice shaping built in to 
it that gives it more "punch" than most mics.  There is a 
switch on the bottom to select PTT or VOX operation.
This particular 444 is in its original box.  Not a scratch 
or blemish on it.  Of course it works well also!  $60 

Microphone for Heath "Lunchbox" Series
This is the ORIGINAL microphone for the Twoer, Sixer, 
and others of the "Lunch Box" series.
It is the original Turner microphone, with the Turner name 
on the front, cotton covered cord, and single button

It works fine, and is in good shape.  $30

Regular hand microphone
Electret Condenser microphone
Generic Black mic, with gray PTT bar. Requires polarizing 
voltage. $25


Touch tone (DTMF) microphones:

CES 600 L, Universal DTMF microphone
This has a normal touch tone pad on the front, along with 
a low impedance microphone. This one has the 8 pin 
modular plug (like a computer LAN) on it. This mic has 
not been used, so it is in really great condition. 
Paper work included for $40.

Drake 1525 EM Touchtone Microphone
This is the mic that was used to add a touchtone pad to 
a lot of rigs in the 70s and 80s. Normal hand mic from 
the front, but has a touchtone pad on the back. Four 
pin mic plug. This particular unit has been used, but is 
in good shape and includes paper work. $ 40 

KDK Model TM-2
With touch tone pad and up-down switches. It presently 
has a 6 pin connector for the KDK 2030, but that can 
be changed. Nice condition. $45

CES "Micropad" touch tone mic
No model number on it, but it has a 12 digit pad on the
back. Low Z mic element with round 8 pin connector 
wired for Kenwood. $40

Data Signal "Data-Coder 5" touch tone mic
This mic has a 12 digit touchtone pad on it, plus a
normal low impedance microphone. With 4 pin plug.
Like new. $40


HT speaker microphones:

Santec speaker microphone
It has the small round plug (about 3/8 inch) with 6 
pins, as used on most Santec HTs, and many 
Wilson and Yaesu HTs. Works and looks great.$20

Kenwood SMC-24 speaker microphone
Fits Kenwood TR-2400 HTs. $18


Kenwood MJ-68 microphone connector adapter
Converts a round 6 pin Kenwood mic connector, so it can 
be plugged into a Kenwood rig with the round 8 pin 
connector. Like new. $20


Speech Processor 

MFJ "Super Logarithmic Speech Processor" 
Model LSP-520BX II

This unit is one of the "good" speech processors. It uses 
techniques that will boost your average talk power, without 
introducing large amounts of distortion. Some processors 
only add to distortion, but this one works.

It is housed in one of the nice TenTec wood grain / eggshell 
white enclosures that are a perfect match for some of the 
earlier TenTec rigs like the Argonaut 505, 509, Triton I and 
II, and others. Of course it can be used with any rig you want, 
as it inserts in the microphone audio line. In other words, 
plug your mic into this unit, plug the unit into your rig, add 
12 V DC to power it, and you are set to go.

This unit works fine and looks fine also. $40


Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Not a GH-12 mic, but it is a mic that came with Heath gear.  
It is Hi Z, and has the 2 pin Amphenol connector on it, as 
used by much of the older Heath gear.  Of course it can also 
be used on Johnson, Hallicrafters, and other transmitters 
needing a Hi Z mic.
It works fine, and is in good shape.  $30

Heath QF-1 "Q multiplier"
This unit attaches to a receiver to improve selectivity. The 
styling matches the DX-60 / HR-10 rigs and others of that era.
There are a few scratches on the case.  $10


Heath Parts:

Main Cabinet for HM-2102 VHF Wattmeter
This is the darker green front panel and bottom, and mounting 
ears.  It includes the silk screen markings on the front.  It is in 
good shape, with one small spot missing the paint on the 
bottom, in a location that will not show.  $8

Crystal for 12.545 MHz - Heath Part # 404-302
Used in Hetrodyne oscillator in HW and SB line rigs.
Still in its original box.  $10

I have many SB-630 parts as well.  Most of the chassis 
parts are available, but no clock.  Front panel and outer 
case are gone, but reflectometer assembly, transformer, 
switches, etc. are still available.
Please let me know what you need.

Parts from SB-400 xmtr (likely will also work with SB-401)
meter switch  - $5
Mic/CW level control (dual pot)  - $ 7
Pilot bulb mounting hardware, w/#47 bulb - $2

Chrome Bezel from around Heath HW-202 or HW-2036 
two meter transceiver.  Front panel bezel.  $5

Expanded Scale AC Voltmeter 
This is an AC Voltmeter with an expanded scale. It reads 
from 0 to 150 volts AC, but the scale is expanded so that 
one can read in the 120 V area easier. The middle of the 
scale is about 95 volts. It is ideal to have in line constantly, 
to check your line voltage. This is a Weston Model 476, 
and is about 2 1/2 inches in diameter, with 3 mounting holes.
Of course it works fine, and looks fine also. $18


ORIGINAL Heath manuals. These are the manuals
only. They are all originals, and not copies, and all 
are close to new condition.

Heath HM-2102 VHF Wattmeter Assembly Manual
1972 - Looks very close to new, but does have check 
marks in the book.  Schematic included.  $10

Heath HW-2021 Assembly manual - 1975
For 2 meter hand held transceiver
No check marks in book. $10

Heath HN-31 A "Cantenna" Dummy Load
This is the "A" model dated 1982

For Sale:

Waters Model 359 "Compreamp"

This is a speech "compressor" and pre-amplifier.  It is the 
same as is used as a plug in unit for the Collins transmitters, 
only this one is external, so it can be used on any rig.  It runs 
off of a 9 volt battery, and has a terminal strip for connections 
on the back for microphone in and out.  There are also "punch 
outs" in the back, so one could easily add a microphone 
connector of their choice, instead of using the terminal strip.
The front has a nice rocker switch to turn it on or off, plus a 
locking pot to control the compression level.

It has the normal gray front panel like most Waters equipment, 
styled to match Collins, and a white case. This one looks great!

$25 plus shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
