E.C.I. Porta-Lab station monitor. This is a typical 1960s do-all station accessory with fwd/refl RF power meter, SWR meter, headphone output for monitoring, dummy load and relative field strength meter. Rated at up to 50 watts. This is in a 6h x 8w x 4d chrome-plated steel box with a handle and retractable whip antenna on top. Input and output is via SO-239 sockets. The front panel is black. Two thumb screws remove the panel to reveal a well-made unit with inline coupler and dry dummy load made out of many 2-watt resistors. This thing is dirty and the chrome on top of the cabinet has some rust spots that probably wont polish off. Untested. As-is. $15 Waters Dummy-Load Wattmeter Model 334A. This is a combination dummy load and watt meter good for up to 1KW in ranges of 10, 100, 300 and 1000 watts. The dummy load is an oil-filled unit and much of the oil seems to have leaked out of this one. Instructions are printed on the back. I dont know whether you would want to try to fix the leak and refill the dummy load or just use an MFJ dry load mounted in place of the oil can--which would probably fit inside the cabinet neatly. The cabinet paint has some rough spots and the plated handle hardware has some surface rust. The front panel and meter look very good. As-is, needs work. $35 RCA WR-514A TV Sweep Chanalyst. Sweep alignment generator for the FM band plus TV channels 2-13. Has xtal-controlled IF markers at 4.5 and several 41.xxx Mhz frequencies. Dirty but will clean up to excellent original condition. With original manual and all original probes and terminator accessories. Untested. As-is. $15 Heathkit T-3 visual-Aural Signal Tracer. One of the original 1950s-vintage Heath test gear kits. Panel has dirt, nicotine and some scrapes at edges. Cabinet has some marks but is basically nice. With a good Gojo cleaning, this should look very good or better. Classic Heath test gear. Untested. As-is. $21 Rycom 2785A Buried Cable Fault Locator. This consists of a transmitter in one small case with handle and storage compartments. In one compartment is the receiver with carry strap and headphones. Diagrams inside show how to use the set to pinpoint the location of earth ground faults, shorts, grounds and crosses. TX and RX are battery operated ( the TX uses 2 6 volt lantern batteries) and the batteries are dead. But I think this will work fine once the batteries are replaced. Modern-ish solid-state unit. Untested. As-is. $29 Sprague Tel-Ohmike Resistor-Condenser Analyzer (R/C Bridge). This is probably the classic R/C bridge from which Eico, Heath and others copied their designs. It uses the single central dial with tuning eye that eventually became standard for these units. This one is dirty all over with nicotine. But a good Gojo cleaning should bring it up to very good or better condition. The leather handle is broken and needs replaced. The plastic dial cover has shrunken and warped in such a way that it may interfere with the dial pointer at certain points in its rotation--I cant tell for sure. This once-nice and useful unit could be nice and useful again with some TLC. Untested. As-is. $23 Thanks for looking. 73, Don Merz, N3RHT ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
