[Boatanchors] GE Ham news

Cleaning up the office and found 17 or so original copies of GE Ham News - publication dates scattered from 1947 through the late 1950s. Interesting reading but I would love to see them find a new home. Not sure about postage cost but $7 via PayPal will certainly cover me.  If interested, just

[Boatanchors] FS: NRI Model 70 Tube Tester $40 plus shipping.

More goodies from the ham shack.  I've had this National Radio Institute model 70 Tube tester for a few years.  I have just refinished the wood case and, since I have a couple of other tube testers, it is a good time to sell this one. I can send a link to a web photo album to anyone who is

[Boatanchors] FS: vintage 10M mobile AM VFO transmitter

Yeah, I am a bit sentimental about this rig.  It dates from (I think) the mid-1950's.  It was given to me by a friend (now SK) and was, in turn, given to him by another local (i.e. Kansas City area) ham 'back in the day'. The original article was in CQ Magazine, June 1950. The tube line up was

Excellent!  A welcome addition.  I can stich those together into a single pdf file if you would like. 73Bob, WA2CKY On Sunday, February 14, 2016 11:53 AM, "q...@kd4e.com" wrote: A nice Meissner Signal Shifter 9-1090 followed me home from Hamcation in Orlando. I

[Boatanchors] FS: One lot of hand held microphones

Email is acting a bit odd today so hoping this get's through ok. I am cleaning up the ham shack and, among many other items, I have many microphones I will never use.  First batch is seven(7) handheld microphones - to keep my work down, I am selling them as one lot. A picture and a brief

[Boatanchors] FS: Eico 377 audio generator - a very nice unit for restoration $25 plus shipping

More cleaning up in the shack.  I have several audio oscillators and this Eico 377 is, unfortunately, surplus to my needs.  I say 'unfortunate' because it is really clean and should be an excellent candidate for restoration.  Pictures are in a web album:Eico 377 Photo Album |   | |   | |   |  

[Boatanchors] Just finished restoration of an EF Johnson TR switch

Just had to crow about (finally) finishing restoration of a E.F.Johnson T-R switch (#250-39).  It was really a minor restoration as basic unit was in pretty good shape - the only marginal thing was the case exterior which was originally a 'chromed' finish (not chrome but some sort of bright

[Boatanchors] FS: Large assortment (about 20 or so) ceramic HV insulators and standoffs

More cleaning up and 'rationalizing' (i.e. facing up to the fact that I will never get to use some of the parts I have been hoarding for all these years!) my parts collection.  This sales is for a bunch (20 or so) ceramic HV insulators and standoffs.  Most are HH Smith and most are NOS.

Re: [Boatanchors] Navigator and Heathkit A-1 Meters

Probably not (well, other than putting a better meter in!!).  I also find the meter banging around to be a real PITA but, in my mental musings, I haven't thought of any way to tame the beast. You could use an RC network (sort of a slow attack quick discharge) but that would take some fiddling
