This apparently covers 2-108mhz in 7 bands. All 7 coils are present as is the original metal case for the whole set. Unfortunately, the foam rubber interior has started to crumble so some cleanup is necessary. But this appears to be in excellent condition. $20 plus $8 US Priority Mail via Flat Rate Box. Ford spark coils (2). Seem to be complete and intact. $8 each plus $8 US Priority Mail via Flat Rate Box. Hickok 540 Tube Tester. I think this is 1944-vintage. The panel is good, but the cabinet covering has lots of scrapes and tears. This looks like a 1930's tube tester until you notice that it has miniature tube sockets. With working roll chart, schematic and manual for the 510, 530 and 550 testers. Most of the screws holding the panel in are gone. Untested and as-is. $60 Measurements Model 59 grid dip meter with all coils. This has the regular head covering 2.2mc to 400mc in 7 bands, but it also has an extra UHF head that covers 380-450mc. Untested. Looks good. With original manual. $50 Tuner Plus Three amplified desk mic with 2-pin Amphenol mic plug. Dirty but should clean up to excellent. $10 plus $8 US Priority Mail via Flat Rate Box. Military Signal Corps ME-51/UPFrequency-Power Meter. This looks like some sort of frequency-specific power meter. Missing 2 knobs and snap-on cover. $15 B&W 850 tank coil. This is a huge coil with switch-selectable taps. The celluloid coil supports have rotted. The front wafer of the selector switch is missing contacts. Easily restored for your California Kilowatt. $20 plus $8 US Priority Mail via Flat Rate Box. B&W 425 Low Pass Filter. Good for 1KW from 1.5mc to 30mc. I have 2 of these brand new in the box. $10 each. Military BC-458-A command set transmitter covering 5.3 to 7mc. This has been ham-modified with a filament transformer on the rear and other power supply components where the 1626-1629-crystal section is in the rear. Pencil markings on this say "Feb 1957 QST" which, as I look this up, calls for converting a BC-458-A to "An All-Band BC-458-A Heterodyne VFO For SSB". So I am thinking that this would be used with something like a Central Electronics 10A or 20B. The front panel is all original except that the antenna connector has been removed. The aluminum is good, though it needs cleaned. The output comes out to a cord with a male octal connector on the end. This looks like it has potential. $15 Neuses Relay Adjusting Tool Set Model TK-18 with original instructions. Vinyl carry pouch has about 25 tools-feeler guages, spring scale, needle nose pliers with custom tips, little open-end wrenches and so forth. Appears to be NOS. $27 plus $8 US Priority Mail via Flat Rate Box. Sprague ceramic disc capacitor assortment. This is in a long, shallow shop-cabinet drawer obviously specifically designed for these caps. I don't have the cabinet-just the drawer. I am assuming that the drawer would be useles to most people, so what I'm talking about here is just the caps that are in it. You are probably familiar with the old Sprague packaging-each group of like caps is packaged in a clear plastic case with a hinged lid-slightly larger than a Tic-Tac container. Each plastic Tic-Tac container has 3-8 caps in it depending on the size of the cap. The drawer contains over 160 of these Tic-Tac containers and I'd estimate there are well over 750 caps here. Most of the containers are untouched-NOS. Some have some caps removed. The values run the gamut of the entire range of disc ceramics from tiny to large. Most are high voltage-200V minimum, 500V more typical, and some marked 6000V. These are all long-lead caps, no PC-board types with the leads cut off. So this is a great stock for anyone that uses disc ceramics. I'd keep them but my cup runneth over... $50/all Beckman DVM accessory set-just the accessories, no DVM. These are NOS in the original boxes with instruction sheets. Beckman DL-241 deluxe test lead set, Beckman CT-231 AC current clamp (this is good up to 150A) and Beckman CT-232 large AC Current Clamp (good up to 1000A and 1MC). $20 for all 3 plus $8 US Priority Mail via Flat Rate Box.
