Antenna Tower, Antenna Mast, Wattmeter, Microphones,
19 inch rack shelves, etc. For Sale:
Antenna tower:
A total of 35 feet of antenna tower is available, consisting
of one top section, 2 "middle" sections, and a 5 foot section
for the base.
This tower is "American" tower, which has a horizontal brace
about every 22 inches. It is suitable for VHF antennas, very
large TV antennas, or small tribanders.
This particular tower is in good condition, although there
is some slight surface rust. $125
Heavy Duty Antenna Mast:
18 foot long heavy duty galvanized antenna mast.
2 inch OD with 1/4 inch wall.
This is heavy! But also very strong! $125
The above two items are pick up only near Ocala, FL, close to
I-75. The items below can be shipped.
M C Jones VHF/UHF Wattmeter:
This MC Jones Wattmeter is a vintage unit, probably from just
after WW II. At that time, it was the gold standard of
wattmeters, basically equivalent to a Bird today.
This particular meter has N connectors in and out. It reads 12
Watts full scale in the forward position, and 4 Watts full scale
in reflected. It also has an SWR calibrate and SWR scale on the
meter. I think the frequency range is from 20 to 1000 MHz, but I
am not 100% positive of that. It works well on 2 meters and 440
MHz. The RF sensor unit inside is model 576.3.
This one functions fine, and looks extremely nice for its age.
$60
MFJ 815 Cross Needle Wattmeter:
The MFJ-815 cross-needle meter allows you to monitor both
forward and reflected power, and SWR simultaneously. There
are buttons to select power ranges of 20/200/2000 watts
forward and 5/50/500 watts reflected.
Frequency coverage is 1.8 to 60 MHz, so it covers 6 meters
in addition to the HF bands, making it ideal for some of
the new rigs that include 6 meters.
There is a meter light that requires a source of 12 V DC.
This particular unit works fine, and looks extremely good.
With paper work for $50 plus shipping from Florida.
Desk Microphone:
RCA equivalent to a Shure 444 desk microphone
Although the front of this mic says RCA on it, it looks like a
Shure 444, and has a controlled magnetic element in it just
like a Shure 444. My assumption is that it is a 444 with an
RCA label.
Of course most of us know that the 444 is an extremely good
communications microphone with great articulation.
This one works fine, and looks very nice. It has a 4 pin
connector on it. $50
Hand Microphones:
Collins MM-1 Mobile Microphone
The Collins MM-1 is a pressure-operated dynamic microphone
designed to fit your hand comfortably. This mike is engineered
for maximum voice response, and its die-cast case is finished
in brushed satin chrome.
This one works fine; there are a couple extremely small pits
(smaller than a pin head) on the chrome, but it looks very
good. The coiled cord is a bit stiffer than when it was new.
With PJ-068 connector for $100.
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
Lafayette EAM-15 dynamic hand microphone
2000 ohm impedance. Stripped and tinned leads.
It works fine, and looks good also. $25
19 inch Relay Rack Shelves:
This black shelf in made to fit a standard 19 inch relay rack.
The shelf itself is 17 5/8 inches wide (standard width for
inside of the rack) by 18 inches. It attaches to the rack so
that 4 inches of it extends in front of the rack and 14 inches
behind the rack (or you could reverse it for 14 inches in front
and 4 behind). It has vent holes so that equipment that is set
on it can get some air. It requires 4 inches of rack space.
It is similar to one seen here
http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=8487
or
http://www.rackmounts.com/Middle-Atlantic-U2MS-DF2984.html
except 4 inches of it extends past the mounting point.
These are in extremely good condition. I can not find a scratch
on them. They look new. Two are available. Buy one for $35,
or both together for $65.
Prices do not include shipping from Florida.
Thanks.
