> LS-671/U speaker. Untested. This was originally used with Sincgars systems but I believe they can be used with VIC-1 and VIC-3 systems. For VIC-3 the manual states it can use an LS-671 but I don't know how to set it up. In "fair" condition with some sticker residue. Surely some goo gone will clean it up nicely.  Asking a low price of $10 plus shipping. I figure the parts are worth it. Hopefully someone will agree! It just has to go.

> MFJ-993B 300W Antenna Tuner. This was my main shack tuner until a few years ago. Worked great all those years, but hasn't been used in a few years. Powers up fine but untested. Comes with an off-brand wallwart and a radio interface cable (not sure what family of radios it is used for). I never used any radio control cable and just let the tuner do its thing automagically. Condition is good for its age but no beauty queen. These things still seem to command some money on ebay. Asking $125 plus shipping.

> NYE Viking RFM-003 Power/SWR Meter. This one broke my heart. I loved this meter. But recently it developed a fault and I just don't have the time to troubleshoot it. I opened it up to show pictures. No smoke was let out. I did remove some old batteries. The batteries did NOT leak as far as I can see. I do see some solder joints in the rear that could use some refreshing. I have no idea how hard or easy it would be to repair this but nothing "bad" happened to it. It seemed to just stop working. At first the readings were weird and the behavior didn't seem right (LEDs lighting when they shouldn't). So I disconnected it.  It is a well liked product as you can read here on eham https://www.eham.net/reviews/view-product?id=2466 . Unit comes with off-brand power supply, 5KW sensor, documentation booklet (with ckt diagram) and the mobile trunnion (or whatever its called). Some comps: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274655071475 and  https://www.ebay.com/itm/274644484813    Asking $100 plus

> A pair of TA-1/PT sound powered telephones. Here's a cool item. Cool because they need to external power source and just use the energy in your voice to power it. Both units work great. Ringer and ringer indicators work. Comes with original plastic holsters for them. Seem to command about $100 each on ebay. Asking $100 plus shipping for the pair.

> Harris VRC-110 Dual Radio Amp system (also retransmission system).  In its most basic incarnation it allows you to run two RF-310M-HH or AN/PRC-152 radios in power amps (possibly other radios like RF-7800M-HH but not sure). The amps provide separate VHF, UHF and SATCOM antenna ports. The next incarnation allows you to set up a retransmission (repeater) system using the included retransmission cable. This set up would allow you to create an in-band or cross-band repeater system covering 6m, 2m and 440 MHz bands (radios cover 30-512 MHz).  There are no radios included in this setup. This is strictly BYOR (bring your own radio!).

> The SIM in this set up converts the single radio sincgars mount to a dual amp set up. BUT! In addition, it provides two intercom ports. This allows a VIC system (such as a VIC3) to connect to each radio separately. And a REALLY nice feature is on this SIM there is a RMT/LCL switch. If used in the RMT position turning on a VIC-3 Master Control Station will also turn on both radios! I love that stuff.

For you HMMWV guys with the RF-310M's that have been circulating in the last few years, this is as badass as you can get hihi! Shipping only to address in the USA.
