Vintage Icom IC-3PA Power Supply / Speaker: The Icom IC-3 PA was originally designed to be used with Icom's 10 watt 2 meter rigs, such as the IC-22, IC-230, IC-22 S, etc. It produces 13 V DC at 3 amps, and shuts down at 4.5 amps. In addition to being a power supply, it also has a front facing speaker in the enclosure. It is designed so that the 2 meter rig sets on top of the power supply. It has four lights for power, normal, warning, and over current. This particular unit is in extremely nice condition. The normal and power lights work. I don't know about "warning" and "Over current", but I expect that they do. I do not find any scratches on it. With the paper work for $40. Communications Speakers: Realistic 21-549 A This speaker is about 4 inches square and about 2 inches deep. It is rated for 5 watts, has an 8 ohm impedance, and is listed as a 300 to 3000 Hz frequency response, making it ideal for communications. It has a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) mono plug, as used by most modern rigs. Gimbal mount included. It is black in color, looks great, and sounds great. $12 Vanco SPB-5 Appears to be the same at above, but with a Vanco label. Also includes gimbal mount. $12 Vanco SPB-6 Similar to SPB-5 above, but is considered a noise cancelling speaker. 10 Watt rating. Still in original box, new. $18 Large 150 Volt AC Weston Analog Meter: Weston Model 1934, 150 Volt AC meter This meter is a nice large 3.5 inch modern meter. The AC scale is expanded, so that 120 volts is easier to read. This meter is new, never used, still in its original box, complete with hardware. $35 Weston Model 1931, 150 Volt DC Meter This meter is similar to the one above, except it is for DC instead of AC. It is also new, in its original box, with hardware. $20 Antenna Tuners: All of these tuners are good for a 100 W HF rig. Although they might be rated to take slightly more power (200 or 300 watts), they are not suitable for use with an amplifier. All include a built in balun. TenTec 291 Tuner This is a "T" network tuner that uses a 47 tap rotary inductor which permits almost infinite adjustment. This one works fine and looks like new. With paper work for $70. Dentron "Jr Monitor" Tuner Covers 160 thru 10 meters, and includes a relative RF output meter. This one works fine and looks great. With paper work for $ 60 MFJ 945 Tuner Includes wattmeter/SWR bridge. It works fine and looks fine. In its original box, with paper work for $55. Reference Books: Reference Data for Radio Engineers: This book published by Sams/ITT is similar to an ARRL Handbook, but in more depth and detail. This book is loaded with tables and charts necessary in communications. Excellent resource book when looking for data, from the acoustic spectrum to radio wave propagation. Sixth Edition printed in 1978. This one is hardback, and it is in excellent condition, close to new. The cover does not even appear to be worn. Only $70. Terman Classic Engineering Book: Radio Engineering by Terman McGraw Hill Electrical and Electronic Engineering Series Third Edition, 1947 - close to new condition Hard bound - $28 B & W Coaxial Antenna Switches: All have SO-239 connectors, and will handle full legal power. B & W Model 550 A coax switch This model will switch up to 5 antennas, and does NOT ground unused antennas. It has the coax coming out the sides like spokes of a wheel. This one works fine and looks fine as well. $40 B & W 592 two position coax switch This switch has the coax coming out the back, and it does NOT ground the unused antenna. This one is in nice electrical and mechanical shape. $30 B & W CS-3 G three position coax switch This switch DOES ground all of the unused positions. It has the coax coming out the rear of a rectangular box. It works and looks fine. $40 Two position "Strip Line" Coax Switches: These switches utilize professionally engineered all metal cavity construction for maximum efficiency and high isolation. Isolation is typically better than 50 dB at 300 MHz with insertion loss less than 0.2 dB. All are two position and use SO-239 connectors, are 50 ohm impedance, are typically rated for 2.5 KW PEP, and good to 600 MHz. All work fine and look extremely nice. Diawa CS-201 - $22 Opek CX-201 - $22 MFJ 1702 B With Center position that grounds both antennas. $18 MFJ 1702 C As 1702 B, but with added lightning protection. $25 Coaxial Cable with "N" Connectors: This cable has a male "N" connector on each end. It is about 60 feet long. The coax is labeled 50-2 V, which is slightly larger in diameter than RG-8 X, but not quite as large as RG-8. This piece is in extremely good condition, with heat shrink around the connectors for strain relief. $35 Coax connectors and adapters: Prices are per connector. Several of each are available. Most are unused. SPECIAL: Buy 5 and take 10% off. Buy 10 or more and take 20% off. I also have a variety of "N" connectors available. What do you need?
