From kenw8ek at gmail.com Sat Jan 7 12:01:43 2017 From: kenw8ek at gmail.com (Ken, W8EK) Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2017 12:01:43 -0500 Subject: [DCboatanchors] Boatanchor Items FS Message-ID: Boat Anchor Items For Sale: Antenna Relays, Relay Servicing Kit, Wattmeter, SWR Bridge, Speakers, Coax connectors/adapters, Tubes, Breadboard, Isolation Transformer, and more . . Antenna Change Over Relays: Most of us would probably call these "Dow Key Relays" from the old days when Dow Key made the most popular type. These are made by Advance, however, which was another popular maker of antenna switching relays of the day. The contacts are large, about 1/4 inch in diameter, so they should handle plenty of power. Both of these work fine. Relay with SO-239 connectors on all 3 ports. Coil is 6 Volt DC. $25 Relay with Type N connectors on all 3 ports. Coil is 100 Volt DC. $25 . . Relay Service Kit: This kit is made by Jonard Industries Corp, and is their Model K-55. It is housed in a nice leather kit. This kit consists of a variety of tools needed to service relays. It includes a special curved brush, tools to clean the relay contacts, a gauge to check tension (measured in grams), "feeler gauge" to check spacing (from 0.009 to 0.025), miscellaneous small screw drivers, a special tool to bend the relay arm, and even a can of spray cleaner. To put it another way, this should have most everything you need to service relays. It is in very nice condition for only $20. . . Swan WR-2000 HF Wattmeter: The Swan WR-2000 is an HF Wattmeter covering frequencies from 3.5 to 30 MHz. It is designed for 50 ohm systems, and has SO-239 connectors for both in and output. Probably the best asset is the extremely large meter. It has a large five inch meter. Full scale is 20, 200, and 2000 watts. Of course it also functions as an SWR meter. This one works fine and looks close to new. This one is labeled Siltronix, but it is the same as the Swan WM-2000. With paper work for $85. . . M C Jones "Micro Match" MM-1: The "Micro Match" is one of the very, very early SWR bridges, made by M C Jones Electronics of Bristol, Conn. I would guess the 1940's or 50's vintage. The MM-1 is related to the more common Model 261, 262, and 263 units. Paper work from them is included. This unit has both SO-239 and BNC connectors on each side, in parallel, so that either can be used. $20 . . Communications Speakers: Motorola Communications Speakers These are designed to go with Motorola's commercial commun- ications systems. They are about 5 inches square and 3 inches deep, and black in color, terminated with an 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug. Superb communications quality. Gimbal mounting bracket. These work 100% and look like they have not been used. Several available. $35 each. Realistic 21-549 A This speaker is about 4 inches square and about 2 inches deep. It is rated for 5 watts, has an 8 ohm impedance, and is listed as a 300 to 3000 Hz frequency response, making it ideal for communications. It has a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) mono plug, as used by most modern rigs. It is black in color, looks great, and sounds great. $12 Wilson Speaker Appears to be the same as above, except beige color. $12 . . Coax connectors/adapters: Prices per connector. Several of each available. Most unused. Buy 5 and take 10% off. Buy 10+ and take 20% off. UHF double female Barrel connector Joins two PL-259's $3 UHF Bulkhead Connector w/mounting hardware Double female, about 2 inches long $6 Screw type coupler joins two RG-58 cables $1 UHF T connector Joins two PL-259's and one SO-239 $5 UG-175 reducing adapters for PL-259 for RG-58 $.50 BNC female to type N female adapter Joins standard BNC and N cables Sealed in package $8 Male N connector to BNC female $10 BNC HT to PL-259 adapter (BNC male to UHF female) $5 BNC female to UHF male (reverse of above) $5 BNC male for coax cables $2 BNC L elbow, right angle $3 BNC double female $3 Chassis mount BNC female square mount (uses 4 screws) $3 Amphenol screw in type, sealed in package $4 BNC T, two female and one male $3 . . 811 Transmitting Tubes: The following 811 tubes have all been tested by a quality Hickock tube tester. On this tester, a reading of 1400 is considered 100%. Pair of United Electronics, Made in France Test 2100/2050; $50 for the pair. Pair that both test 1800. One says Taylor, San Marcos, CA The other simply says "Made in China". $35 for the pair Pair of Penta Labs, Made in China Test 1400/1350. $25 for the pair. Three dead tubes, only suitable for things like lamps. $2 each Buy all of the above for $100. . . A P Products ACE 201 Prototyping Breadboard: This A P Products ACE 201 (All Circuit Emulator) is a 5 x7 inch breadboard on a metal back plane. It can be used for connecting IC circuits and testing, debugging, etc. It has a red and black binding post, and a buss thru the middle for power. The 5 x 7 size permits a fairly large number of ICs to be connected. This one looks to be close to new. $15 . . Large Isolation Transformer: This isolation transformer is large. It is 8 x 6 3/4 x 6 1/2, and has four input terminals with taps 5% from each end. The output is center tapped, for a total of 7 taps. It probably can be used to convert from 120 V to 240 V, or vice versa. Pickup near Ocala FL would be best, but it could be shipped. $95 plus shipping from Florida. . . I also have many other accessories of many different brands available. Just too many to list here. Please e-mail your requests. . Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Operates on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10m bands. I have not checked it on 10m. Output is around 300 watts so it could probably use some new GI7B tubes but perfectly OK as-is. Wired for 120V AC operation, and is very clean inside and out.
