For Sale: Boatanchors, Test Gear and Miscellaneous Hallicrafters SX-28A. Famous HF receiver with styling thought by many to be the best looking BA receiver ever made. This one has a really nice front panel with some light knob wear. There are some scrapes on the cabinet paint, but the cabinet still looks good and has the correct aluminum trim on the sides. Band change and tuning work as they should. The radio lights up and does not smoke but is otherwise untested and as-is. A nice addition to any collection. $395

This uses push-pull 6L6 tubes in the final and unmarked military transformers. Other tubes are 2 6SC7 and 2 6SN7. The rectifier tube has been replaced with some sort of solid state adaptor. It has several mic inputs and several line inputs with pots to control the level of each. The wiring is pretty haywire point to point with connections hanging in the air, etc. No cabinet--just a chassis with the controls and connections on the apron. $39 Bogen-Presto 10W PA amplifier with one mic and one phono input. Uses PP 6AQ5 tubes in the final. Other tubes are 12AX7, 6AU6 and 6BW4. One of the 6AQ5s is missing.

This is a military unit designed to generate 115V 400 CPS power at 2500VA from 150 amps of 27.5VDC. Made by Universal, the military order or contract number is AF 33(600) - 16843. This thing looks like a black motor about 10 inches in diameter and 18 inches long. It has a 5 inch tall metal box bolted on top that runs the full length and width of the motor. This obviously contains the electronics and has the connections IN and OUT at one end. Mounting brackets on the bottom provide 4 spaced mounting bolt holes for mounting on a flat surface. I have not opened this up and I know nothing about this. Its dirty but appears to be all original with no obvious damage or problems. Untested. As-is. $99 Another military whatzit the tag says Tester: Variable Capacitance, Capacitor Type Fuel Quantity Gage, Field, Type 0-3 Specification MIL-T-591 Order No. AF-33(600)19222 Stock No CAC-806555 Manufactured By The Jackson Electrical Instrument Company Mfrs Part No S-1095 Serial No 357 U. S. Property. This is in a 12x12x16 black steel box with clasps and handle. The lid opens to reveal a General-Radio-Looking set of knobs and dials. It has the weirdest probe Ive ever seen that starts out as a 3-pin banana plug thing (with a GR logo on it) and ends up in 2 long coax cables with these complex BNC-style T adapters halfway along each coax cable and finally ending in 2 alligator clips. Based on reading the calibration chart in the lid, the variable dial has a range of 50-1100 mmf while the switchable side can add 1000-5000 mmf to the variable side. I didnt open this up but I suppose there could just be one big variable cap inside and some switchable caps. Anyway, yours for parts or for measuring fuel quantity . $10 Thanks for looking. 73, Don Merz, N3RHT
