I wound up with 2 of these and I only need one.   Telonic/Berkeley model 
8107S 0-69dB, DC-2.5GHz, rotary 2 stage step attenuator.  Not sure what 
these sell for new, but I've seen them advertised for several hundred 
dollars in far worse condition than this one is.  Telonic/Berkely 
apparently still makes this model.  I used this one along with my 
SARK-110 to determine the before and after MDS at VLF frequencies when I 
did the KBPF3 VLF modifications prior to the boards becoming available 
with the modification already completed.

The input and output connectors are SMA female and I'm including a pair 
of SMA to BNC screw on adapters plus 2 double shielded, teflon insulated 
cables with SMA males on each end and SMA female to type N male 
adapters.  The connection between the two sections is made up of solid 
copper shielded sub-miniature hard line coax with SMA male connectors on 
each end from the factory.  Cosmetically the device is in decent 
condition and my SARK-110 analyzer confirms that it's 50 ohms in and out 
so it hasn't been subjected to any damaging levels of RF power and the 
VSWR up through 270 MHz (the limits of the SARK-110) is 1:1 to a 50 ohm 
termination.

Asking $120 shipped anywhere in the US.  I'd rather not try to ship 
these internationally as the shipping/insurance would be pretty high, 
not to mention the VAT in some countries.

I can't post pictures here but high resolution pix are available and 
will be emailed on request.

Please email me off list if interested and the first "I'll take it" (by 
date/time of email) gets right of first refusal.
