Hello everyone,
We went to the meet after many years, since a last
visit. Apparently the building I went thru closest to the
parking lot was NOT the Howell building with all the radios. I
guess after walking the outdoor swap area, we missed it.
Anyway, was looking for a couple of items, solid
state power supply for bc 611f.
A lead or purchase of a solid state vibrator for
any of my bc 1335. All of my vibrators are dead, even after alot
of effort to restore the contacts.
I guess there is next year!
Great show

Gilbert was a fun event. I brought only two WW2 operational radios
( BC-611 and BC-659 ), and was a little nervous about bringing the
project radios ( ATB, ARB, AN/ARCA-1 and ZB-1 ). Thank you
everybody for the very kind words on the projects. The ATB in
particular needs a lot of love. Great to see everybody. I did see
some WW2 stuff for sale, and was able to pick up a USN marked
shock mount for my next GF/RU project ( again, museum bound ).
Also saw a BC-62O and BC-659 in good cosmetic condition, with the
AN-29-C antenna, but in unknown electrical condition, with power
supply but no other accessories for $600 each - good for known
working sets without accessories, otherwise maybe $300. They
hadn’t sold when I left in the afternoon. I also saw USAAF radios
in various degrees of needing some love. Not much WW2 ground
forces radio stuff other than the radios mentioned above.
It was also great to see Bill Perry at Gilbert and to find more
vendors I’ll be doing business with in the near future.

WA2EJT Good to see you at Gilbert, Joe. Great display of WWII
flying radios. Tuneable VHF is a lot of fun in the air band and
it was cool to hear the chatter on your old receiver from just a
whip under the metal roof.
Did Dale get on from camp?
Out the door for a canoe adventure.
