2. Vectronics receiver kit, new in bag, for 40 meters. $20.

4. Palomar R-X noise bridge. Great shape, works fine. $35.

9. Stancor GSD-100 230-to-115-volt conversion transformer. Looks to be in
great shape. Mounting feet show no sign of ever having been mounted to
anything, though one of the four mounting feet is slightly bent. Primary
230v, secondary 115v 100 VA. Connecting cables built in, with what I assume
is European-style plug on one end and American-style 3-wire female connector
on other end. I suppose it's just the thing for the travelling QRPer! $10.

13. Bourns 3400-S-201 200-ohm ten-turn wirewound pot. Blue case.
Quarter-inch shaft. It was obviously pulled from something at some point but
is smooth and checks out fine. $3.

16. Heathkit HD-10 electronic keyer, the old green one. Good condition,
works fine. $30.

18. Variable capacitor. Hammarlund. Ceramic frame stamped "MC-325-N." 43
plates, spacing about 21 plates per inch. Offset quarter-inch shaft. Appears
to be brand new. $7.

20. Variable capacitor. Hammarlund, brass plates, ceramic frame. Two
threaded mounting holes in feet, also threaded for panel mounting.
Quarter-inch centered shaft. Total of three plates, plate spacing about 1/16
inch, plates 1.5 inches in diameter. Solder on lugs indicates it has been
used, otherwise in very good condition. $6.

21. Variable capacitor. Another, like #20 above except has a total of five
plates. Also pulled from equipment. Not as clean as #20 but also in good
condition. $6.

22. Ten Tec 1054 “4-Band Shortwave Receiver Kit,” new in package, unbuilt. $25

23. Meter 0-1.5 DC amps, Westinghouse. Meter has square face, approx 3x3 inches, fits in round hole approx. 2.75 inches. $4.

24. Meter 0-1 milliamp, Weston. Meter has round face about 3.5 inches in diameter, fits in round hole approx. 2.75 inches. $4.

25. Meter 0-50 milliamp, Triplett, meter has square face about 2.5 inches on a side and mounts in round hole about 2.25 inches. $4.

26. Meter Triplett 0-200 microamps. Meter has slightly rounded square face measuring about 3.5 inches on a side and mounts in round 2.75 inch hole. $5.

27. Meter Micronta 0-50 microamps. Slightly rounded rectangular face 2.75w x 2.25 h. Mounts in approx 1 inch round hole. $4

28. Meter 0-5 milliamps. Westinghouse. Square face, 2.25 in. on a side, mounts in round hole just over 2 in. $4.

29. Meter Micronta 0-15 DC volts. Slightly rounded rectangular face 2.75w x 2.25 h. Mounts in approx 1 inch round hole. $4

30. Parks Electronics Model 50-1 six-meter receiving converter. Built in AC p/s. Uses 6CW4 and 6U8. 36 mhz xtal, 14 mhz IF. SO239 input, RCA output. Haven’t used it in a long time. Quick check lets me hear 50 mHz GDO signal on 14 mhz receiver, but I suspect it needs alignment. $12.

31. Ameco Model CN 2-meter converter, 14 mHz IF, with matching Model PS-1 power supply. This is the one where the converter plugs into the power supply. Converter uses three 6DS4 Nuvistors and one 6J6. Crystal is 43.333 mhz. Typical Ameco good condition outside, beautiful inside. Worked fine when last used, but haven’t used it in many years. $20 for set.

32. Variable capacitor. This is an unusual one, obviously pulled from some sort of (probably military) equipment. The cap has a total of 15 plates (8 rotor, 7 stator) with a center-mounted shaft and plates just a bit over 1.5 inches in diameter. The shaft measures 5/8 inches in diameter. On one end of the shaft is a spring-loaded split gear that likely once matched a worm drive of some sort. One end (front?) is mounted on a metal plate with a second small screwdriver-adjust gear, apparently for some sort of fine tuning. The cap has ceramic frames on both ends and feels as though it’s turning on ball bearings. This would likely be a great VFO cap with a suitable drive arrangement. $3

33. Variable capacitor. A neat little split stator unit, ceramic frames on each end, “BUD” embossed on front ceramic. Faint printing appears to read “8 MMFD, which looks about right for each section. Plates are about three-quarters of an inch in diameter. Centered quarter-inch shaft. Each section has two rotor and one stator plate, with a 360 degree metal shield plate on the rotor arm between the sections. This cap appears to be new, judging from the condition of the solder lugs. $5.

34. Two center insulator units, the PVC kind with an SO-239 on the bottom and steel eyes on each side of the top for securing wire. One is white PVC with no label; the other is gray/black with “W2AU” embossed on the top cap and a metal grounding strap running from the SO-239 on the bottom to the metal hanger eye on the top. The white one is physically identical to my “Hy-Q Balun” but since it has no label remaining I can’t say for sure that’s what it is. Both show minimal DC resistance between the two terminals, suggesting that both are balun/insulator combinations. Both have wire bits on the eyes from earlier antennas. $6 each, or both for $10.

35. Vectronics 30 meter receiver kit. New, unbuilt. $20.

36. Heath HD-16 code practice oscillator. Good condition and works fine. $10.

37. Heath IN47 capacitor substitution box. The old one, in the black bakelite case. 18-position switch switches .22 to .0001. $15.

38. MFJ “CMOS Keyer” in unknown condition. Uses Curtis 8043 chip, which is in the socket on the board. I bought this a few years back from a ham who said “It used to work, until that there wire broke,” pointing to what appears to be the battery wiring. I never pursued it and so it is strictly as-is. Inside is a bit rough. $3.

39. What appears to be a VFO assembly for an HW-104. Stick-on Heath label says “Model HW-104” and “Series No. XX02605.” Appears to be complete, but it’s untested, as I have no way to test it. Contains two PCBs, a slug-tuned coil, and a great variable cap with reduction drive. Who knows? It may work; if not, the variable cap/reduction drive is the treasure. $9.

40. Meter. Simpson, 0-500 microamps DC, 2.75 inch diameter round face, mounts in 2.25 inch hole. Brand new. $6

41. Bag of about 40 panel-mount pots. $5.

42. Aluminum chassis 9.5x5x3. $6.

43. Aluminum chassis 12x8x3. $9.

44. Pair of Sylvania 6146B/8298A tubes. In Sylvania boxes. $14 for both.

45. RCA 6146A (in 6146B box). $6.

46. MFJ Telepatch II Deluxe Hybrid Phone Patch. Excellent shape. I’m told it works perfectly. I bought it originally to get the great Tentec cabinet (about 8x6x2.25), which is cut out for a meter and for four knobs on front, plus various connectors on back! But if you need a phone patch, they say this is a good one. $12.

47. Jackson Brothers “6-36” drive and protractor-style panel scale. In this bag is a Jackson Brothers reduction drive. The drive mounts in a round hole, I’d estimate three-eighths inch. It couples to a quarter-inch-diameter shaft. The knob end of the drive is a one-eighth-inch-diameter shaft. The drive is fitted with a flat brass threaded screw-on plate suitable for adding a pointer. Also in the bag are a protractor-style logging scale (white with black printing) measuring 3-5/8 inches by 4-3/4 inches, with a screw hole in each corner, and a matching aluminum plate with similar cutouts. $10.

48. Heathkit Model B-1 “Balun Coil Set.” This is the old classic in the big gray box. Inside are two pieces of bifilar-wound Airdux-style coil stock, each about 2.5 inches in diameter and about 4.5 inches long, connected as a balun. Input is SO-239, output is a pair of ceramic binding posts. A few white paint spots on the cabinet. $25.

49. Bag of 8 AA-size nicad betteries, “PowerSonic” brand, “PS-AA-1.2V600mAh.” Some have been soldered together. I acquired these with a 2 meter HT several years ago; the former owner said he was assembling a battery pack from them to power the radio. Condition unknown. $3 for the bag.

50. Heathkit ID4101 “Electronic Switch.” Looks great, but I’ve never used it! $18.
