WELCOME TO KA9EGW.COM
THE ONLINE HAMFEST TABLE [AND POLITICAL
SOAPBOX] OF AMATEUR RADIO STATION KA9EGW
-- THE COOLEST RADIO JUNQUE EVER!!—
[COLLINS—JOHNSON—DRAKE—NATIONAL—HAMMARLUND—HALLICRAFTERS—YOU
NAME IT—ALWAYS CHANGING AS THE CLEANUP GOES ON]
So…here we are. First, the obligatory page of rhetoric. I have a pile of boatanchor
stuff I got for way too cheap to let it go by, and too expensive to justify
keeping. Gotta
love this economy, eh? I just couldn’t
let this stuff go to landfill, and I overextended the hell out of myself [and
ended up in the trick bag with the XYL] to keep it in ham hands. ON THAT NOTE I WILL
NOT SELL A TRANSMITTER TO YOU IF I CAN’T FIND YOU IN A CALLSIGN DATABASE. CBERS AND FREEBANDERS ARE INVITED TO GET
LICENSED [LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP]
AND GET BACK TO ME. EVERYTHING YOU NEED
TO KNOW TO GET LICENSED IS AVAILABLE AT http://www.arrl.org/
BUT IF YOU NEED HELP GETTING LICENSED
MY EMAIL LINK IS FARTHER DOWN THE PAGE…
I will not
mercilessly gouge anyone because I *don’t*
need the karmic debt that goes with it and it would be contrary to the spirit
of the various Amateur Radio email reflectors whose members have been so
helpful to me, but at the same time like I said I way overextended myself and I need to at least break even [so please don’t try to offer a price “shipped” that
wouldn’t even cover shipping…sadly, it has happened] although I will go
100 road miles from 53585 to meet up, and 50 cents a mile after that, as
calculated by Google Maps. I can ship
this stuff, on your dime…add $10 per piece for the
cost of new boxes for double-boxing. If
you think that’s a gouge, it’s NOT; go to http://www.mcmaster.com/,
or to http://www.uline.com/ and look up box
prices [the double wall ones] and realize I paid WAY more than $10 for
packaging if I’m shipping it to you.
HOW TO BUY: Email me telling me you want it, or making
an offer, and we’ll go from there.
Or just throw
me an email to rag chew.
THIS PAGE
IS IN NO WAY INTENDED TO IMPLY I THINK EBAY COMPLETED-LISTINGS HISTORY REALLY
REFLECTS THE TRUE VALUE OF THIS STUFF. I’M
AN ENGNEERING TECHNICIAN, NOT A SALESMAN.
PRICES ARE BASED ON HISTORY ON EHAM.NET, SWAP.QTH.COM, EMAIL-REFLECTOR
HAMFEST REPORTS, BEST OFFERS RECEIVED, AND “COOL FACTOR” [WHICH IS PURELY SUBJECTIVE J]. “NO REASONABLE
OFFER REFUSED” IS ALWAYS IMPLIED AND THAT BARTER OFFERS WILL *NOT* GET THE CONTEMPT-PRIOR-TO-INVESTIGATION ROUTINE [HINT: MY
‘WANT’ LIST IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE J]
PRICES WILL BE ADJUSTED UPWARDS AS THE
AMOUNT OF TIME I HAVE IN EACH UNIT INCREASES AND ITS CONDITION IMPROVES. I INVITE OFFERS ON MULTIPLE PIECES OR THE
WHOLE REMAINING UNSOLD LOT…I DO KNOW HOW TO REFURBISH BOATANCHORS, DONE
QUITE A FEW IN MY DAY, BUT THESE DAYS I’D RATHER JUST POUND BRASS...
VETERANS: 10% DISCOUNT FOR HONORABLY-DISCHARGED
[SERVICE-CONNECTED DISABILITY? EMAIL FOR FURTHER DISCOUNT]
About the veteran thing: if I manage to sell more than break-even point then excess proceeds will go to the Veterans Of Foreign Wars National Home. My R-388 was a Christmas 1980 gift from my Dad, E-4 H. J. Sherwood, U. S. Army 1943-46, my wife’s an honorably discharged Army vet, almost all my friends are vets, my great-uncle Leo was in the first wave ashore on Iwo Jima, most of my extended family have things in their history with names like Flanders, Pearl Harbor, Normandy, Chosin and Khe Sanh, I was a member of the Sons Of The VFW for many years, and dirt-bag anti-vets-rights pro-socialist scum, can quit reading here and go to http://www.ilovehanoijane.com/ or some other such total waste of bandwidth of that sort...
<rant> 25% SURCHARGE FOR PAYPAL--I’VE NEVER HAD ANYONE HANG PAPER ON
ME, BUT I’VE BEEN BURNED VIA [AND BY] PAYPAL MANY TIMES. I DON’T NEED ANYONE’S MONEY THAT BAD…IF I DID
THE STUFF WOULD BE ON THAT AUCTION PLACE </rant>
OK, GOT THAT OUT OF THE WAY, NOW ON TO THE RADIO GOODIES:
UNDERGOING REFURBISHMENT:
[1] Heath
HA-10 "Warrior" kw amp awaiting of delivery of matched 811's, panel pretty good, cabinet needs paint, boy those
866’s are purty! Gave indicated 800 watts out on 80 @
120mA Ig. These were measured running on
120V with a Bird 43, 1kW slug, an old Cantenna, and driven by a Drake T-4XB
running 300mA Ip. As noted below, my
Bird meter reads 50W at a known 100W out of my ricebox at the low end of the
scale with the 1kW slug. Buy it for $400
now [before I start cleaning, paint the cabinet and figure out a T/R relay
arrangement…J]. Then one of the 40-year-old tubes shorted
grid-to-plate and burnt up a metering resistor [close-tolerance replacement en
route].
STILL UNTESTED [yes I’m
getting buried again]:
[2] Viking II; 6146's,
untested $275 as-is
[3] An SB-220, cosmetics VERY
decent, previously butchered to likely 6 meters, iron good, input and tank
circuit implants included, have parts, ready soon well, ok, someday…$700
OR $525 as is.
[4] Ten
Tec 1208 6m transverter. $100.
[5] R-390A, not the one
previously listed, works but needs TLC. EAC
I *think*. It’s buried under other stuff
at the moment. Came with
spare IF deck, spare NOS 4kc filter, pile of spare toobs,
has OEM line VU meter and some cheesy replacement S-meter…$350 as is.
PARTS IS PARTS
[6] I got a butt load [5
Priority-Mail-large-size boxes’ worth] of small air variables, single/dual/triple/split
stator/etc; e-mail your needs
and I’ll see what I got.
[7] Couple of 872’s. Make me a “neither-side-gets-gouged” offer.
[8] Half a dozen or better
866’s; the HA-10 now has 3B28’s…
[10] Couple old RCA 811’s
and one NEW Penta 811. NOT a matched trio.
[11] A pile of BA books,
old ARRL Handbooks, air variables [including some 7kV-plus], and a bucketful of
knobs I haven’t photographed or listed yet.
AND LASTLY, MY EVER
CHANGING “WANT LIST”
[12] ft-243 crystals for
Novice Rig roundup
COMING SOON
[13] Drake T-4XB with
AC-4. Will know more
when it gets here.
