Folks,
Where in the world do you find these!?  I have been searching hamfests 
for a couple years now and have yet to find one.  I keep hoping I'll 
find one that someone has grown tired of, maybe quit to go onto other 
projects, or, well, whatever...

Starting from scratch is a bit beyond my skills but I think I could 
finish one that been started.  Is there a sort of HBR-xx Lost and Found 
site?

My best source has been at swapmeets and talking to the people. I have also advertised on various reflectors looking fo one. But the greatest number offered/sold has been on ebay. They  show up because there were many built and since the HBR Reflector was started, several have been dug out of closets and brought back to life or sold on ebay ...of course, the price has gone up too. I had a record (pictures) of HBR Receivers on ebay and think I had somewhere around 10 or 12 listed 
The first one I found, 8-9 years ago, was at Ham-Com in Dallas ....a HBR-14 for $35.
On the other hand some people have done outstanding work with BC-453 50Khz IF coils and available capacitors, available power transformers, and PVC plug-in coils.

But it looks like a decent job to start with; could be re-kit-ed to be
a nice one.

With the National (rather than Eddystone) dial it's a vintage AM
piece; pretty rough to tune in SSB at ~200 kcs/knob revolution.

I don't know about the price; I guess these things are worth whatever
someone is willing to pay.  If I were going to bid (I'm not!) I'd want
to see a picture under the chassis.

I wonder if there are any of the other coils?

You can't post large attachments/files because there is a 40KB cutoff on the reflector. I can upload anything to the web site but just suffered a HDD crash and need to restablish FTP capability. You can send the files to me directly and I can put them on the website. I have several others to do also .....once my FTP capability is reestablished.

John,

I create the layout on a an XP PC with CorelDraw.

There are two people that I use for the engraving:

Pete
Thomas
-and-
Dan Lynch

The "trick" is
procuring the 0.090" black anodized aluminum that the
front
panel is made of ..

Let me know if you'd like their phone #'s,
they're both in the milwaukke WI area.

Subject: [HBR] Hy-Gain Rotator Controller: FOR SALE
Message-ID: <001801c9f98d$9c95ae90$ca21334a@COMPAQ>

Good Day All,

If you have no interest in acquiring a back-up / parts unit / complete replacement HY-GAIN Model H-IV/CD-45-11 rotator control box (NOT the rotator itself---just the controller), by all means please feel free to skip this message...however, if you are in the market for one of these, please read on.

I acquired this from an estate sale some time ago---unfortunately, my rotator does NOT incorporate a braking system, so the controller is of no use to me. Maybe it'll find a good home at your place.

I've downloaded the manual from the Hy-Gain website (which will be included with this), and confirmed that all of the output voltages at the different posts on the rear terminal block are putting out the prescribed voltages. The meter lights up, and the inside appears to be immaculate. The outside of the top case has the usual minor scuffs & scratches.

This particular rotator controller is marked Series #82098, if that means anything to you.

Open to offers here---additionally, I'll be in Iowa on 10th July, so you can save the hassle of cross-border delivery, and all of the added expense that international mailing entails, too, if you'd like me to wait & mail it to you from Ida Grove, in Corn Country.

Thanks for reading...

I made a "simple" but VERY EFFECTIVE one, using a 9-pin tube sheld, stuffed 
with cotton wool.

The "heater" was a biasing resistor (from a VR circuit) inside the can, and 
after about 10 minutes or less, the xtal didn't drift at all, or at least so 
imperceptably that I didnt' notice.  Obviously, this a  "crude" method, but 
it sure did work.

Hi Tom,
I was looking for such a solution for quite some time. I am restoring
a receiver from surplus that has its main time base removed. Can you
please send me a schematic and couple of photos please? I can have a
starting idea then.

Gee... actually, the only thing I did was to MOVE the bias resistor from the 
VR tube socket, UP INTO another 9-pin socket (on standoffs), above the 
chassis using existing holes).  Then I had the crystal inside, separated 
from the resistor by a piece of "fish paper", and the whole thing stuffed 
inside the tube-sheld.  It was very crude, but did seem to work.

Exercise caution to use either FISH PAPER or treated paper which will not 
burn very well, BETWEEN the crystal and "heater" - ....AND you only want 
"warmth", but NOT hot.

I hope this assists you

73 - Tom
