Kenwood KB-1 Heavy Spinner Knob For Sale:

I have a heavy "spinner knob" available. This may be
the Kenwood KB-1 that is well known as being a great
knob that improves the performance for changing
frequency on many different rigs.

The pictures of the KB-1 that I have found do not show
a skirt with dial markings on it, but this one has one.
FYI, this knob weighs 6.2 oz, and has an outer diameter
of 2 1/4 inches. The original Kenwood tuning knob weighs
only 1.8 ounces and 2 1/8 inches in diameter. Of course
both are made for a 1/4 inch shaft.

The SK who had this primarily had Icom equipment, so
it is quite possible that this is Icom's equivalent of the
Kenwood KB-1.

This one looks like it has not been used.
I find no scratches on it.

These have sold from $97 to $183 on EBay. Buy this one
for $100 plus shipping from Florida.

Kenwood MC-50 Desk Microphone:

The Kenwood MC-50 is a dynamic cardoid desk microphone.
It features a push-to-talk [PTT] and lock button. It has a four
pin plug. This mic has connector switched, dual impedance
ratings of 50k ohm and 600k ohm. Frequency response is
from 150 Hz to 10 kHz.

The MC-50 is the perfect match for many of classic Kenwood
transceivers such as the TS-120S, TS-520S, TS-530S, TS-830S,
plus many others. Of course it can be used with most any
modern rig also.

This one works fine. It looks fine as well.
Paper work is included for $55 plus shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
