ANTIQUE HAM BAND CRYSTALS - for less than $2.00 each.

Military surplus crystals from the Golden era of radio.
Build or restore
something true to the period of the 1930s and 1940s.
Three batches of
crystals are currently available. See list below.

These large crystals are some of the earliest made for
use with regular
military radio equipment. There is not a lot of
information about
them available any more. Some were used in type SCR-522
radios, BC624,
BC625, ARC3 etc., etc. However, these would make a great
basis for
a homebrew, old-style glowbug AM or CW transmitter since
they are almost
all on useful ham band frequencies. Enough here to share
with a friend
too on some requencies! Will be quite a conversation
piece around the shack.

ANTIQUE CRYSTAL KIT #1

HC1/U crystals = H43 type with 3.4" pin spacing and
thick pins.
3756,? 3903,? 7200, 7223,? 7249,? 7270 kHz

ALSO - CR-1/A Crystals with 1/2" spacing and thick pins.
7010 kHz (QTY 3),? 7270 kHz,? 7300 kHz, 10.0667 MHz,
29.520 MHz

Total of 14 excellent-looking crystals, PLUS two sockets
of each type.
QTY 2 X Ceramic 3/4" crystal socket.
QTY 2 X plastic 1/2" crystal socket.

Complete kit as described above is available for $22.00
plus shipping.

FOR SALE:? Group of 40 FT241 Crystals in new condition.

Quantity of 40 old FT241 crystals. These are the LF range crystals as
used in the military BC620 and BC733 radios. Excellent condition.
During WWII these quartz crystals were manufactured for use in
military vehicle radios.?

These crystals are marked for frequencies in the 20 - 40 mhz range,
but the fundamental frequencies are much lower.
Some of the crystals fall in the 455 khz range, and were used by
homebrew radio builders in the 1950's onward to make crystal
filters, especially for SSB exciters (see early 50's ARRL handbooks).

These are LF crystals in the 300 - 500 kHz range. Marked with channels
such as 14, 19, 60, 68, 317, 320 (sorry no specific choices offered) but
for example, Channel 68 = 496.3 kHz.

Will sell the box of crystals for $15.00 plus shipping.

Message-ID: <4B25EDCF.32311.C14405@bcarling.cfl.rr.com>

FOR SALE:

THE SIXTY CENT FIREBALL - SINGLE STAGE 80m CW 
TRANSMITTER!

Here is a dual in-line package crystal oscillator 
that will generate RF on the popular frequency 
of 3.686 MHz in the 80m amateur band. 

Add your 5 volt DC supply at about 20-50 mA, 
a key and an anetnna and you will be on the air 
with QRPp power and absolute minimum parts count!

Construction plans are available on line... see below. 
Crystal stability means you will have no drift, chirp 
or yoop with this tiny silver rig.
Even use it as a driver for a more powerful RF final. 
Strictly speaking, you should add a PI network or 
other matching circuit between the output pin 
and antenna for correct antenna matching and 
to attenuate the harmonics. Has approx. 10 to 20 mW
RF output. Add a few parts and you will have a fine 
little QRP rig.
You will not be the first to have made real CW 
contacts with a few milliwatts of power!
An experimenter's delight for the 80m ham band. 

Available now for $1.00 each or TEN for just $6.00 plus 
shipping!
