[Scan-DC] Almost Free to Good Home

[Jack Smith]

I have some items that might interest readers of this list. All are 
large and heavy and are for pickup only in western Fairfax County. It 
will take a pickup truck or small van type vehicle for each of these items.

I don't want direct payment for these, but ask you to make a donation to 
a particular tax-exempt charity in the amount appropriate. (I'll provide 
the details via a private E-mail for anyone that is interested.)

The particular items are:

1) A Brown-Boveri HF transmitter. This is in a 6 or 7 ft tall rack and 
is CW mode. It uses plug-in coils and I have a partial set of coils 
along with an instruction manual (in German). I will also include a 
plate transformer, not original to the transmitter.  It probably weighs 
200 lb or more, and it's chock full of parts that could be used to make 
an antenna tuner or whatever. I had it running on a dummy load at one 
point and recall it as delivering 400 or 500 watts.

2) An RCA "super carfone" 250 watt VHF base station, with crystals for 
147.875 MHz (or perhaps it's 147.825 MHz, can't recall now.) Solid state 
receiver, solid state low power stages in the transmitter and vacuum 
tubes from there on. I believe I have a manual for this. This is in a 
weatherproof rack cabinet and is extremely heavy.

3) An RCA 500 series 406-420 MHz repeater with voting receivers. This is 
a complete repeater package with two remote receivers in smaller 
enclosures. It's all solid state except for a conduction cooled final 
amplifier, rated at 100 watts output. It's the government band 406-420 
MHz split. I have manuals for this as well, along with a spare 
transmitter or two. It's in an indoor rack cabinet.

4) HP 608D 10 MHz - 480 MHz vacuum tube type signal generator, with HP 
417 super regenerative receiver and HP 803 impedance bridge. All in 
working order.  Have manuals for all. Includes a lab cart (old style).

5) GE MASTR 450-470 MHz band base station assembly, transmitter and 
receiver and power supply. No cabinet. 60 watts output as I recall. 
Crystalled up for a ham frequency in the 440-450 MHz band.

I would like to get  these out of my garage and basement and into the 
hands of those would might find them useful, and also raise a bit of 
cash for a worthwhile purpose.
