After years of designing and building projects, I'm still continuing to
unwind a ton of items surplus to my current interests. Before I add the
following items to my Web site, I thought the following would be of
interest to the QRP community.
A - Early days of solid state parts (a.k.a. RCA / GE Nostalgia) Bundle
Amazing what one finds in their parts collection.
(2) RCA CA3028B ICs (used in the 1 active device DC receiver and many
W1FB radios of the 70s ), (3) Signetics SE510A (similar to CA3028 except
in 14 pin in line package), (3) 2N35, (15) RCA 2N274, (8) GE 2N397,
(1) 2N404, (3) GE 2N1415, (3) 2N1225, (7) Sylvania 1N34A (2/16"
bulb, (5) Transitron transistor (type unmarked, in CK722 gold plated
type package).etc.. 50 + pieces of 1960s era semiconductors.
Bundle Price is $15 + shipping.
B - SuperSCAF filter semikit
In April 1988, QST published a high performance audio filter called
SuperSCAF (switched capacitor audio filter) that later was manufactured
commercially as an accessory, used in the QRP Plus by Index Labs etc.
The heart of this audio filter were flexible, high performance AMI S3528
(low pass) and S3529 (high pass) ICs. Within these chips is a 7th order
elliptical filter , clock generator, programmable frequency divider and
a pair of buffer amplifiers. Just a few external parts (e.g. capacitors,
resistors and a 3.58MHz color-burst crystal) were required. A key
feature of the filter were the ability, using BCD rotary thumb wheel
switches, to digitally select the filter cut-off frequencies and
bandpass (i.e. 0327 = 300 - 2400 Hz, 0307 = 300 - 700 Hz etc.).
Additionally, with the 7th order elliptical response, the attenuation
was quite steep (greater than 50dB at 1.3 times cut-off frequency)
producing a filter with a great shape factor.
I put together a semi-kit to build a low pass version of the SuperSCAF
filter. Each kit includes a S3528B, a 4 1/2 digit BCD rotary thumb wheel
switch and a 3.58 MHz crystal, you just add some capacitors, resistors
and power.
Notes:
The S3528B data sheet is at:
http://www.datasheetarchive.com/preview/2966414.html
http://www.ingelec.uns.edu.ar/pds2803/Materiales/HDatos/AMI/s3528b.pdf
Note that at 3200 Hz the 50 dB+ attenuation is 1.3 the selected cut-off
frequency (figure 5) and for lower cut-offs, even better (figure 3).
The 4 1/2 digit BCD rotary thumb wheel switch is easily disassembled and
re-combined into a 2 digit switch.
See April 1988 QST article for additional application information.
I might be able to come up with one S3529B hi pass chip to make a band
pass filter.
Price $12 + shipping.
C - Bunch of powered iron and ferrite toroids bundle.
(25) miscellaneous Powdered Iron toroidal cores (T25, T30, T37, T44 and
T50 sizes of type -2, -6 and material).

and binocular cores for RF.

motorola Varactor Tuning Diodes, (10) Pin Diodes (MPN3404), (2) 1N34A
diodes
Bundle Price (25 pieces) is $12 + shipping (several available)
F - Trimmer Capacitor Bundle
(25) pieces including muRata trimmer capacitors from 20 to 120pF (Black,
Brown, Red and Green color coded, as frequently used in QRP kits).
Bundle Price (25 pieces) is $14 + shipping (several available)
G - Mica Compression Trimmer Capacitor Bundle
(20) pieces by ARCO etc. from from 20pf to 400pF+. Most are screw driver
adjust, but some have shafts suitable for knob adjustment.
See http://www.surplussales.com/Variables/Compression/CompCap1.html
Bundle Price (20 pieces) is $16 + shipping.
H - Air Variable Trimmer Capacitor Bundle
(35) pieces, includes slot adjustemt and piston types (see below links
for examples). Values to 25pF.
http://www.surplussales.com/Variables/VariableTrimmers/VarTrimm5.html

Bundle price (35) pieces $20 + shipping.
I - Very nice Audio Amplifier Bundle
The Phillips TDA1015 is a monolithic integrated audio amplifier circuit
in a 9-lead single in-line (SIL) plastic package. This device was
especially designed for portable radio and recorder applications and
delivers up to 4 W in a 4 W load impedance. This unit will run from 3.6
V to 18 V.
Features single in-line (SIL) construction for easy mounting, separate
preamplifier and power amplifier offering a total gain of 52dB plus,
thermal protection, high input impedance, low current drain and low
distortion. View data sheet at:
http://www.gilanet.com/Ohlandl/76-77/TDA1015.pdf
Bundle Price is (3) for $5 + shipping.
J - Another interesting Audio Amplifier Bundle
The MC34119 (8 pin DIP package) is a low distortion, low power audio
amplifier integrated circuit that runs over a wide operating supply
voltage range (2.0 V to 16 V). Features differential speaker outputs to
maximize output swing at low supply voltages (no output coupling
capacitor required). Open loop gain is 80 dB, and the closed loop gain
is set with two external resistors. Gain is adjustable from <0 dB to >46
dB for Voice Band. Additionally, capacitors can be included in the
feedback loop to provide frequency band pass filter response (see Fig .
24-25 in data sheet).
