Subject: [DCboatanchors] Johnson Desk Mic and other boatanchor items FS
Message-ID: <4C2D150E.3000504@flham.net>


For Sale:

Johnson Desk Microphone
It looks like a Shure 444, except it says Johnson on the front
instead of Shure, and has the Johnson logo on it.  I am assuming
that it is a Shure 444 that Johnson simply had their name and
logo placed on it.
This one has a very nice pattern on the scope and looks extremely
nice.  $45


Heil SM-1 Microphone "Shock Mount":

The SM-1 "Shock Mount" is Heil Sound's 8-point flexible
suspension support system that helps suppress low-frequency
rumble on the microphone line by absorbing and damping
vibrations picked up from the studio desk or console.
It is a professional suspended shock mounting system,
black in color. The SM-1 is designed for use with the
slim-line Heil Sound microphones, such as the GoldLine
GM series, HM-10-DUAL and the PR-20. Its standard 5/8"
threads mount onto the PL-2T "Topless" and other mounts,
for easy installation.

This shock mount works with the GM-5 and similar body sizes.

This particular unit works fine, and looks very close to new.
$50


Heil Microphone Cable:

Heil CC-1 K microphone cable
This has an 8 pin round female connector wired for Kenwood on
one end and a 4 pin XLR female on the other end. It also has
the 1/4 inch socket that can be used for a foot switch, or
other PTT switch. It is about 8 feet long.

It can be used to connect a Heil GM-5 microphone to most
Kenwood rigs that take the round 8 pin connector, although
it probably could be used with other units as well.

This one works fine and looks very close to new. In fact I
doubt you could tell it from new. $25


Hand Microphones:

Generic Hi Z Hand Microphone
This hand mic is black in color, and looks like it might
have come from a HyGain rig. It has a PTT switch and black
coiled cord. $25

Shure 104 C, Low Z hand Microphone
This is a very heavy duty Shure mic. It appears to be new,
with stripped and tinned ends that have never been on a
connector. It is in its original box, with the original
instruction manual. $30

Generic Hand Microphone
This is a low impedance hand microphone, black in color.
With 4 pin connector. $25
With no connector. $22

Lafayette EAM-15 dynamic hand microphone
2000 ohm impedance can be used any place a dynamic mic is
needed. Stripped and tinned leads.
It works fine, and looks good also. $25


Communications Speaker
This 4 inch square speaker is optimized for communications
frequencies (300 to 3000 Hz). It is in a black enclosure,
and is an 8 ohm speaker. It has a cord with a 1/8 inch
(3.5 mm) mono plug on the end.
This one works fine and looks OK also. $15


120 Volt AC Power cables:

These are power cables that plug in to the 120 V AC line.
They have the standard 3 prong plug on one end, and have
the "International" 3 slot socket on the other end, as is used
on most computers, plus many other pieces of electronic
equipment, such as ham gear and test equipment.

These all function fine, and look very good. Some have been
used, and some may not have been.

Buy one for $1, six for $5, or 14 for $10.


Waters "Universal Hybrid Coupler II" Model 3002:

Most of us would likely call this a phone patch, but it
is really much more than that. It does that, but also
will interface with a tape recorder, and permit recording
and play back of on-the-air QSOs. Nothing says that the
tape recorder input must be used that way. Connect the
sound card in your computer in this position, and you
have a very effective interface.

Model 3002 includes a speech compressor powered by a 9
volt battery. The front panel is finished on both
sides, with one side having it set in a horizontal
position, and the other in a vertical position.

This was a "top of the line" unit years ago. One only
found them with top stations such as Collins.

This particular unit is in really great condition.

With paper work for $100.


Lightning Protectors:

"Blitz Bug" Lighting protectors
These are not as sophisticated as the Polyphaser below,
but still protect against lightning. Two versions are
available. One has an SO-239 connector on each end.
The other has a PL-259 on one end and an SO-239 on
the other end. Take your choice for $8 each.


Polyphaser IS-VU50HN-MA Lightning Protector

Polyphaser is well know for extremely good lightning
protection equipment. This coaxial antenna protector
is designed to be inserted in the coaxial cable at the
bottom of a tower.
This unit has two SO-239 connectors, and is rated to take
750 Watts from 50 to 300 MHz and from 380 to 550 MHz.

This particular unit includes the spec sheet, and appears
that it might not have been used. It is not oxidized,
or corroded.

These sell for about $75 new. Buy this one for $55.


Micronta 21-194 Digital Multimeter:

This DMM not only does the traditional things that DMMs do
(measure voltage, current, etc.), but is also a transistor
tester and a capacitance meter. Voltage ranges are up to
1000 Volts, current to 10 Amps, and capacitance to 20
microfarads.

This particular meter looks good, and functions fine on all
modes except resistance.

Probes included for $15.


Dual Meter SWR Bridges:

These feature two separate meters -- one for reading forward
power and another for reading SWR. This permits one to easily
monitor both the power going out, and the SWR on the antenna.
They are from Japan, and labeled with various names, including
Swan, Siltronix, and Quement. Both have SO-239 connectors on
each end, and work fine.

Both will work on HF, and VHF, covering 3 to 150 MHz, so are
ideal for the new rigs that include 6 and 2 meters.

Swan SWR-1
This one is in its original box, but the meter itself says
Siltronix on it. The original instruction sheet has both
Swan and Siltronix on it. $45

Quement SWB-2
No box for this one, but it works fine and looks great.
With paper work for $40


SWR Bridges / Field Strength Meters:

Midland 23-126 SWR Bridge / Field Strength Meter
This is an HF SWR Bridge, but it can be used up thru 2 meters,
with slightly reduced accuracy. It is also a field strength
meter. SO-239 connectors.
This one works fine, and looks extremely nice. I do not see
any scratches on it; it may not have ever been used. In its
original box with original instructions and small telescoping
antenna. $35

ThordTest SWFS-2 SWR Bridge / Field Strength Meter
Appears to be the same as the Midland above, but the outer
case is beige instead of black.
In original box, with original instruction sheet, and antenna.
$30


Heath HM-2102 VHF wattmeter, covering 50 to 160 MHz.

Similar to the HM-102, but for VHF frequencies, with 250 and
25 watt scales. It can also be used to check SWR, and has a
remote sensor that can either be left inside the meter, or
separated from the actual meter.
SO-239 connectors in and out.

This particular meter works great. It looks good, but has a
small defect on the left side of the meter that does not
effect operation.

Paper work included for $40.


Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
