R-390/A receiver s/n 2626 made by Electronic Assistance Corp. With meters and
covers. Weird corrosion on big knobs and handles. The rest of the radio looks
fine. Tuning and band change seem to work well. Otherwise untested and as-is.
$550
Hallicrafters PM-23 speaker without the H letter on the grille. Light surface
rust on grille. Original cabinet paint has some scrapes and scuffs. Do
something about the grille, shine up the paint and this would be a nice
looking speaker for your SX-28 -25 etc. The driver is not original. $55
Hammarlund small speaker. Just when you thought you'd seen all of the
Hammarlund speakers, along comes this tiny thing. It has the gray Hammarlund
paint scheme, the Hammarlund grille cloth and the Hammarlund speaker shape but
it's 7x8x8.5 high. The trim ring has been painted black around the flat outer
side. Facing front, the trim ring is the normal Hammarlund dull-silver. The
black may be original or may not be. Driver is likely original. No Hammarlund
logo plate. No tags. $55
Harvey Wells ATR-3 aircraft receiver with vibrapack. Looks all original
including knobs and dial. Should clean up very nice. $60
SCR-274N black radio receiver BC-455-A made by Western Electric under a 1941
contract. The BC-455-A covers 6-9.1mc. All original with original connectors,
dynamotor mounts, etc. Has paint and surface corrosion problems. The tube cover
is 30% peeled off. But the rest of the paint is much better. The antenna
connector has been bent and the aluminum around it will need mild
straightening. Missing the crystal. But all tubes are present. No FT-230-A box
(see below). Easy clean and restoration. $45
SCR-274N black FT-230-A box that plugs in below the tuning dial on the command
set receivers. All original. Some paint peeling. $25
Astatic 10-DA dynamic high-impedance microphone. This is close to NOSB with the
instruction sheet. But the box is all beat up and the chrome needs minor
polishing (after which it will look near-mint). No stand. But it has the little
adapter to fit a regular-screw-thread desk stand. Or skip the adapter and use a
G stand that you already have. $40
