[MRCG] For Sale: Project Radios. Hallicrafters S-27, BC-1032, RAS-3

[Gordon Smith]

Hi All,
I have unfortunately come to the conclusion that I have WAY too many 
projects and too little time to complete them all in a normal 
lifetime. Therefore, I am starting to cull projects and offer them 
for sale. My goal in this email message is to gauge if their is any 
interest in some of the project radios I have. I have purposely not 
put any pricing on them because of the project radio nature of them. 
I would not be putting any Ebay pricing on them and if anyone is 
interested in taking on a project radio I am certain we can come to a 
mutually agreed to price. Radios are located in San Diego and pickup 
is preferred. I can also drive up the coast a bit to drop them off. 
Radios are as follows:

1) Hallicrafters S-27. I have two of them and I figures someone can 
get one radio out of the parts. Extra Meters come with it (I gotta 
find them). Only one has a case and most of the tubes. One has a 
modification where one of the acorn tubes was replaced with a 
nuvistor. Extra faceplate is included. These two radios are basket cases.

2) BC-1032 Panadapter for the S-27. In very good shape. I've never 
fired it up, so condition of the power transformer (which is a known 
weak spot for these things) is unknown.

3) National Radio RAS-3. In OK shape. Picked this up from APEX 
electronics in Los Angeles, CA about 10 years ago. It had obviously 
been sitting out in the weather for awhile but it's all there. 
Internals look OK. Still has the dogbone resisters installed. One 
small ding on the National PW dial. Someone scarfed what appears to 
be a choke coil on the back of it for some reason. Power cord 
disintegrating, some paint on the interior peeling. Would make a very 
worthwhile restoration candidate. Has one Coil in it, Coil #3 (.9-2.0 MC).

Pictures available upon request. Thank You for your consideration,
