[MRCA] SCR-543D, SCR-179/179 Available

[D. Platt]

I've decided to divest a couple of mil rigs, to include my SCR-543 rig.  
It was the subject of a recent ER article (Feb 09) and is currently on 
the air.  It includes the transit boxes I built, some spare tubes, and 
the handset.  Its crystalled up for 3885 and 3880.  Its currently set to 
put putting a minimum of 50 watts.  Both the power supply and R/T unit 
were fully re-capped.  I also have copies of the manuals.  The cost will 
be $400, picked up in MD or as might be arranged.  I also have a rather 
nice suite of SCR-178 components.  I have the receiver, the receiver 
battery box w/ cable, and the modulator, all un-touched.  The 
transmitter is another story.  Whomever had it before me decided to 
re-build it with (as I was told) a "modern" tube line-up.  The previous 
owner removed most internal components.  I have since replaced some of 
the original components but the old tube sockets and tubes are missing 
as well as assorted resistors and caps.  I priced the PA tube and 
elected to not go further.  I was going to finish the transmitter via a 
simple 2-tube, 30 watt rig in the Handbook but have decided not to 
finish the project.  I do have the parts, however.  The real shame is, 
the condition of everything is very nice.  I do have the manual.  I'm 
asking $150 for the lot.
