For Sale. All prices plus shipping. Two vintage Western Electric mine telphones. One is a 17-C and one is a 17-D. The smaller 17-C has a leather handle on top and earphone clipped into the side. It seems to be complete and all original. The larger D-model is missing the hand crank, handle, ear piece and some of the cabinet hardware. So the 17-D is basically a parts unit. I have no idea how to date these. My guess would be 1930s or 40s. Pictures available. $27/both
Vintage Chicago Telephone crank telephone box. This is the wooden box that has the crank on the side and the generator inside. It doesnt have either a mouthpiece or earpiece as part of it--I guess those were separate. This has the crank. The wood is solid but probably needs refinished. The bells have surface corrosion and rust--they need replaced or re-plated. Looks good inside. Pictures available. $20 Matched pair of premium grade 6146W tubes made by PhillipsECG. These came from RF Parts and were matched by them. They have JAN military markings. Also included is a JAN 12BY7A driver tube, NOS, made by GE. So this is a set of premium replacement tubes that would be an upgrade for lots of old tube rigs from the Heathkit HW-100 through the Kenwood TS-520. Guaranteed brand new tubes. Purchased at Dayton several years ago and never used. $29/set WWII-era military receiver speaker model LS-3. I think this was typically used with the BC-342 and similar radios. The paint is scruffy all over, but original. Theres no rust or corrosion. The cord that is on it is not original. The speaker works. Pictures available. $30 Vintage board game--The Telephone Game!--apparently published by AT&T. Typical monopoly-type game (how appropriate) with Alexander Graham Bell pictured on the front. This has been opened but is otherwise in brand new condition with the original mailing carton. Probably dating from the 1970's. Picture available. $10 Heathkit AT-1 transmitter cabinet--just the cabinet. The paint is not bad and there are no unoriginal holes. Useful to replace a bad cabinet on and otherwise good TX. Picture available. $15 Rider Chanalyst made by RCA. If you've gotten this far, I'll assume you know what this is. This needs a good cleaning all over, but is basically in nice shape and all original I think. The top of the cabinet has a couple surface rust spots and some paint scuffs that may need attention for the unit to look its best. But they are not too objectionable. Untested and as-is. $69 1903 Electricity book: Easy Experiments in Electricity and How To Make Them, by L. Dickinson, Fredrick L. Drake and Co., 1903. This hardback is 204 pages, excluding the index and catalog at the end. It's in very nice condition with only a small amount of wear at the cover edges. $22 HUGE military plug-in coil made by B&W. This thing looks like a BC-610 coil on steroids--it's 2 or 3 times the size of a BC-610 coil. I have no idea what it was designed to go with--something pre-war, I would think. The markings on the coil are hard to read but here is what I see: 1665-1 SC 3C1087-5 2000-3600KC plus a B&W decal. This is missing one of the banana plugs and has a cracked support at the one end. As-is. $10 Decker 40M transmitter coil with original box. This is a rare, pre-war, west-coast ham item. Looks like an early Bud-type 5-pin plug-in coil. From the 1930s for sure. Coil and box are in nice shape. $5 Vintage morse code combination sounder/relay. Made by Western Electric I think. This is mounted on wood, which is attached to a cast-iron base. One thumb nut is missing and has been replaced with a square nut. The spring and arm that is holding it do not look original to me. But I really know nothing about this. Please ask for pictures. Untested and as-is. $20 Two codemaster code practice keys--the kind that the boy scouts used to use with plastic bodies with the code engraved next to the strap-metal key. Your choice of light or buzzer--but the light bulbs are missing in both units. Batteries also not included. These are in nice shape and have the original printed cardboard bottoms on them. I think they are all original. $6/both Cornell-Dubilier CDB-3 decade capacitor. This is part of that set of test gear they made in the 3x5x5 wooden boxes. Needs cleaned. $9 Cornell-Dubilier BN capacitance bridge with tuning eye. A match for the decade cap above, this is part of that set of test gear they made in the 3x5x5 wooden boxes. Needs cleaned. Includes original manual which is falling apart. $19 HP 606A HF signal generator covering 50kc-65mc with a great waveform, high dial accuracy and metered output voltage level. This is the classic BA signal generator that Fair Radio Sales has had in their catalogs for 20 years or more. This one did not come from Fair and it has been well taken care of. Very good cosmetic and operating condition. With manual photocopy. Tube lineup is 5 6AW8, 4 12AT7, 2 6CL6, 7 12B4 and 1 5651. Big BA signal generator needs a big workbench or big shelf. $55 General Electric Adjustable Capacitor catalog no. 28F311. This is a 9x6x5 inch black wrinkle-painted steel box with 2 binding posts and 6 toggle switches on top. The toggles select 1/2MFD, 1MFD, 2MFD, 4MFD, 8MFD and 16MFD. The tag says its good for up to 500VDC or 250VAC. Its heavy so Im assuming that whatever is inside is oil-filled. Untested and as-is. $10 Precision E-200C Signal Generator. Classic HF signal generator from the late 40s. Looks very good but leather handle that was on top has broken off and is gone. With test leads and original book Servicing By Signal Substitution which includes a complete manual for this unit including the schematic. Untested and as-is. $15 Thanks for looking. 73, Don Merz, N3RHT ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sponsored Link $420k for $1,399/mo.
