[Don Merz]

FOR SALE. Shipping cost is not included.

Homebrew #10 Hartley Transmitter. Built from plans in
the 1931 ARRL Handbook. Looks exactly like RX pictured
in book. Using single #10 tube and 2 "plug-in"
coils--one is copper tubing. Breadboard-style. This
was built in the 1960's as a nostalgia project using
period components. It's in perfect working condition.
Tube line-up is 1-10. $110  

Homebrew power supply for the Hartley or any
early-1930’s vintage TX. This is a breadboard supply
using a 1930's Thordarson transformer and 2 large,
square 1930's caps, one of which has split open. There
is a socket for 1 4-pin rectifier. But it had no tube
in it when I got it and I have never run this supply.
As-is. Needs cleaned up. Board used for breadboard is
unfinished and not great.  $65

HBR 16 receiver. Famous QST project by Ted Crosby
W6TC. Built onto a 19 inch rack panel in a Bud
cabinet. All black wrinkle. Coils for all bands. I
powered this up and it makes noise but needs some TLC
to be a real receiver again. With all available
documentation including schematic, etc. $500

only exposed HV connections can be. $1,500. Pickup
only. 

Versatile 70 TX. 6146 on all HF bands. Bandswitching.
