National SW-3 in good looking, good working original
condition. With one set of coils for 40
meters--bandspread, I think. Cloth power cord is
electrical-taped at the radio end. Nice example of an
SW-3. No power supply and just the one set of coils.
$259

Hallicrafters SX-100. Crystal calibrator is missing.
One knob is chipped. Cabinet has some noticeable paint
scrapes on top and 2 unoriginal 1/4 inch jacks
installed on one side. The front panel looks
great--even with the chipped knob. Works but capacitor
shorts out at the high end. You will need to find the
offending plate or plates and fix that. Or
alternatively, I will include an NOS replacement cap
that you can install in place of the one that is in
there. $259

National PW dial and gearbox as used on the HRO and
many other National radios. Black dial. The gearbox is
the right-angle variety and has a shaft coming out of
only one side. Nice. $50

Hickok Cardmatic Model 123 Tube Tester with a decent
set of cards--not a comprehensiveset of cards--just
the basics. Decent looking condition, though it is
dirty and will need a cleaning. Untested and As-is.
$199

Multi-Elmac AF-68/PMR-8 rig with M1070 power supply,
all connecting cables and unoriginal mobile speaker.
Copies of most of the docs are included. The AF-68 has
some surface rust on the inside edge of the chrome
trim ring and also on the wahers around the switches.
This is very minor and should polish off--the washers
are easy enough to replace. Also, the AF-68 dial
window has yellowed slightly. That may or may not
polish up to clear, I am not sure. I think this rig is
all original. If it’s not, I can’t find where it
isn’t. I think this will clean up to be a showpiece.
$299

Military R392 receiver made by Western Electric. This
is all original, looks sharp and is working reasonably
well, though I did not test it thoroughly. This radio
comes with a modified commercial power supply that
uses the original connector to supply power to the
radio. It also has a gooft looking modern external
speaker with the original audio connector on it for
audio. It you can put up with the look of that
speaker, this thing is plug-n-play good boatanchoring.
$299

Another R392--parts unit. This is missing the meter,
some fuse holders and probably other stuff inside.
It’s pretty scuffed up and dirty. For parts only. $89.
Not sold until the radio above is sold in case the
buyer wants a parts unit. 

Drake 2B with 2BQ. Has some dings and masking tape on
it. But the radio copper chassis doesn’t look bad. It
has 2 extra crystals. The cables going from the 2BQ to
the 2B are not original. Otherwise, I think this is
all original. $159

Ameco Type CN converter with type PS-1 power supply
With all tubes and xtal. Copper looks nice. $30

Unbuilt Heathkit Capacitor Substitution Box Model
IN-3147. Small kit. This has been opened, but the
contents are undisturbed--it’s still factory-packed.
$50

Unbuilt Heathkit Resistance Substitution Box Model
IN-3137. Small kit. This has been opened, but the
contents are undisturbed--it’s still factory-packed.
$50

Unbuilt Heathkit IT-1121 Semiconductor Curve Tracer.
This has been opened and partly gone through. Some or
all of the sub-boxes are still sealed. The cabinet is
still wrapped up. But unless it’s underneath
everything else the manual is missing. Mid-size kit.
$119

Set of ARC-12 command set equipment with original
ARC-12 manual. This consists of 2 transmitters, 2
receivers with dynamotors and two receivers without
dynamotors. There are no control boxes or racks or any
accessories other than the manual. Some of the radios
have been sightly modified but 4 of the six are
original and the others are probably easily restored.
The origoinal manual says “Instruction Book for A. R.
C Type 12 Equipment with UHF Supplement, January,
1955. It has all the schematics, hookup diagrams,
photos and so forth. 6 radios, 2 dynamotors and the
manual: $200

Knight R-100A receiver. This has some very light paint
scuffs on the cabinet top. But overall, this radio
sparkles. There’s some very minor tape residue on the
front panel that should come off easily and it could
use a minor cleaning. But after that cleaning, the
front panel will be near-mint and the cabinet will be
excellent. All original with manual copy. $130

Military RAO-6 HF Receiver s/n 909 made by National
Radio Company. WWII Navy HF receiver variant of
National NC-100A. Covers BCB to 24 or 30Mhz. Contract
number NXsr-38306 dated 7-31-44. This has big paint
scrapes on top and the knob backing plate to left of
dial has faded. Untested and as-is. With original
preliminary manual. Tube Line-up: 5Z3, 6J5, 2-6J7,
2-6K7, 6K6, 6C8 and 6F8. $169

Thanks for looking.
