Bird 43 Watt Meter: The Bird 43 is an insertion type RF watt meter, designed to measure RF power and load match in 50 ohm coaxial transmission lines. It is intended for use with CW, AM, FM, and TV modulation. It measures power from 100 mw to 10KW, depending on the element used. The meter provides direct readings in watts with an expanded scale for easy reading. The scale is graduated for 25, 50, and 100 full scale. Elements are available in a variety of power, and frequency ranges. This particular meter is model 4300.21 manufactured in March 1957, so it is the older, well constructed model. It has "N" connectors, with the leather handle, which is in good shape. The meter works well. $175 Large 150 Volt 3.5 inch Analog Meter: Weston Model 1931, 150 Volt DC Meter This meter is a large 3.5 inch analog 150 Volt DC meter, and is the meter only. It is new, in its original box, with hardware. $20 Dentron Super Super Tuner High Power Antenna Tuner: Dentron made a very heavy duty antenna tuner. It covers from 160 meters thru 10 meters continuously, including the WARC bands, and includes a balun that is also very heavy duty. This is one of the most rugged tuners available. The super super tuner is rated at 3000 Watts and a real brute. I don't think there is a heavier one made! Unless you are running far more than legal power, you do not need to worry about this one! This one works fine and looks extremely nice. At first glance, you would think it was new, but there are a couple of very light scratches that can be seen if the light is just right. With paper work for $225. 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.
