Subject: Astor Stereogram

Does anyone know of the following StereoGram:

Make: Astor
Model: Unknown (Possibly G18AA)
Made: 1968

The problem:

No ouput, from any of the inputs (gram, din, tv, radio)
(Although there is noise (like pink noise) coming from the left channel
amp)
The right channel amp is not producing anything.

I have been through and re-soldered all the joints, still no luck.
Does anyone have any idea what they fault may be?

Thanks;
Stew

If it's an auction, how do you know it will be "Cheap" by the time
someone reads your ad?

Isn't that potentially misleading?

Subject: Dritz is an ass hole ... and I am sorry!!! 2963

Hey all ... Yesterday I accidentally sent out an invite to my penpal and mailing list site ... thinking that it would be OK for the rec mailing list ... unfortunately there is this ass hole named dritz ... I think he is dr...@princeton.com or dr...@atlantic.net .... any way he is a real anal prick with no life. So I saw this other post on the internet with my email address on it and I emailed him and asked him what the deal was ... and why I was on this report ... and that I didnt know what I did wrong
and what I could do to rectify it ...

anyway this ass hole then goes back and tells his mommy and about anyone else he could think of about this issue ... he is such an anal prick ...

anyway I just wanted to send this mail to the rec newsgroup and let all of you know that I am sorry if I cause you any inconvenience at all ... and if I did I just wanted to appolgize.

If you want to contact me to discuss this please drop me an email at eins...@cuy.net I would really like to hear from all of you and we can discuss this off line. Thank you.

Somebody is getting really desperate for a rig & VFO! Maybe
this 'Buzzmania', the buyer thinks there are
diamonds inside them?

I don't watch eBarf much, but is it REALLY getting THAT insane on

=======
Hi Dave -- AVC is Automatic Volume Control -- when the incoming signal is
strong -- AVC cuts back on the receiver gain and vice versa. AVC tends to
keep a constant volume regardless signal fading.

MVC is Manual Volume Control where the receiver gain is controlled by the RF
GAIN knob (If you have one) -- otherwise the receiver is in a full gain
configuration.

Here is how one receiver AVC works:
AUTOMATIC VOLUME CONTROL - Delayed, amplified AVC gives constant output
within 6 db for a change in r-f
input from 5 microvolts to 0.5 volt. AVC is applied to the r-f stages and
three i-f stages. The proper amount of AVC delay is employed for maximum
sensitivity on weak signals.

The switch you mention is ( automatic volume control) and( manual volume
control).. you may find that cw signals are more easily controlled in mvc
position, broadcast and other am will be fine on avc setting.. may be Kenwood
is a spin off from Lafayette , I heard about Lafayette long beforeI heard of
Kenwood.. have fun Harold W4PQW

From: n...@sp.am
Subject: Switch Question

MVC = Manual Volume Control
AVC = Automatic Volume Control

For voice/music, etc. AVC is probably best. It will tend to keep the gain
of the receiver such that the signal will remain fairly constant with
fading, etc. You can usually run the RF gain control up full and adjust the
volume by using the AF gain control for comfortable volume if you have the
AVC on.

For CW (code) or for SSB the usual process is to use MVC and turn the AF
gain 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up (or more) depending on how much hum is
produced and start with the RF gain all the way down and advance it until
you can hear the signal you're trying to tune in. Of course for both CW and
SSB you need to have the BFO (Beat Frequency Oscillator) turned on and
adjust its pitch while you rock the tuning back and forth to give the
strongest signal and a pleasant tone on CW and to make the voice as clear as
you can on SSB. Using MVC you provide the gain control by riding the RF
gain control. Once you've decided where you want the AF gain control, make
adjustments in how loud the signal is by adjusting the RF gain and keeping
the signal low enough so that it's not distorted.

If you try to read CW or SSB with the AVC on, since you must have the BFO on
to introduce a beat signal for CW or to reinsert the missing carrier on SSB,
the BFO signal will cause the AVC to decrease sensitivity to the point where
you usually won't be able to hear the desired signal. More modern receivers
will have a product detector which can operate with the RF gain full on on
both CW and SSB.

No, Lafayette was a private label of (guess what?) Lafayette Radio and may
have had Trio-Kenwood produce something for them but Kenwood is definitely
NOT a derivative of Lafayette. Lafayette did not design and produce gear
but put their label on other company's products.

Mouser does not list them but I think Newark does. Look

BTW, I always look at the el cheapo mikes at a hamfest
because you sometimes can buy a mike for a dollar or so

Subject: Astor Stereogram

Dear Stew,

You don't mention whether the radiogram is solid state or uses valves.
However, it might be worthwhile running voltage checks on each channel, as
well as trying to trace the signal paths. A common fault in elderly audio
equipment is dirty switches. These can present an exceptionally high
impedance/resistance to a small signal, such that the signal just doesn't
get through. In the UK we can buy Super Servisol, an aerosol switch cleaner,
which does the job. There is a warning about certain plastics that can be
attacked by the cleaner, but I've never had any problems with it. I have
"fixed" at least three audio items using this stuff. I don't know if it is
sold in the USA, but there will be an equivalent product.

The best of luck!

The 6KV6A is equivilant to a 17KV6A and a 22KV6A. I don't have

The 6KV6A is a Color TV type Shunt Regulator tube.

Evan -

8417 is a uncommon audio output tube, used in the Dynaco Mark VI and
Quicksilver 8417 among others. They have gotten fairly pricey as there is
no good substitute. There is no equivalent although KT88's can be
substituted in many cases with substantial modifications.

The 8417 is a beam power tube, once commonly used in audio service.
Discontinued, and getting quite scarce and pricey these days. Perhaps the
circuit could be modified to use a 6550 or other easier to get tube.

Subject: Victor Short Wave Adaptor.

Looking for something else I came across a 'short waver converter?

Brown crackle cabinet (top missing), wooden base. Unit is 17 inches
wide, 10 inches deep and 8 inches high. Knobs missing. Overall condition
'fair'; maybe a three or a four on scale of 10.

At first glance it looks like a 1930s radio receiver. I was puzzling
over the make until I noticed the small "His Master's Voice" symbols
moulded into the two, what I will call the 'escutcheons', through which
you view the 'tuning' dials. 0 to 100. Then I found the original label
on the bottom!
"Victor Short Wave Adaptor; Range 16.5 to 110 meters. " and "Victor
Division, RCA Victor Company, Inc. Camden. N.J. U.S.A."

The two cord driven metal tuning dials tuning dials are each coupled to
a single gang variable capacitor which are guessed to be 200 pfd.
variety with wider spacing than later variable capacitors. One must be
'tuning' and the other 'oscillator'?

Also projecting through the front panel are a rotary on/off switch and a
potentiometer which I've just noticed is marked "Feb12 1931 'From
Magnetic Phono Cartridge' '4513'." judging by the wiring, what looks
resoldered and an incorrect shaft length this may not be an original
item? (Idea? Could be a reaction control!) Unless it was modified; see
item removed below.

Inside the case there is a metal removable chassis on which there is a
black paxolin board riveted to the main chassis mounting five (five
pin) sockets. The five sockets are; UY224 (also a top cap wire), ANT
(into which a single winding 'ANT' coil marked "23-45 M" {presumably
metres?}is plugged, UY227, OSC coil (similar with two windings), UY227.

Tubes are out but I think I've got two of them somewhere. I don't think
my '30 year old' tube tester which is also "somewhere" has a that kind
of socket on it!

Underneath there are a number of metal cased capacitors, three brown
plastic Aerovox USA capacitors and three carbon composition resistors.
Values not visible except on one Aerovox, .005; which appears to be an
'output' of some sort. Wired with fabric wire and uses quite a lot of
riveted construction.

Along the back of the paxolin sub chassis are five unmarked insulated
screw terminals. Am assuming they will be; Antenna, Common negative
(chassis), Heater, B+, Output. Tracing required. Presumably the output
was in, say, the broadcast band to a regular receiver. With separately
adjustable oscillator and tuning I suppose you could pick different
output frequencies and/or use the regular receiver for fine tuning! As
per a Q5er.

Apart from the missing top cover from a components point of view it
appears to be complete except that someone had drilled out the rivets of
what was probably a transformer (or choke) mounted mid front below the
chassis, you can also see four mounting tag marks and remains of two
rivets! But cant see any missing wiring other than the potentiometer
mentioned above.

As I prepare to trace out the circuit of this interesting item, I think
I've got tube pin connections somewhere and possibly get it going, if
possible, on the one set of coils in it (13 Mhz to 6.6 Mhz. which is a
2:1 ratio btw) can anyone offer advice or suggest any source for
information. Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks for reading.

Neat Find.

I've never heard of these before. SW converters (VHF too!) have been one of
my 'hot buttons for a long time.

Good luck with it.

Someone wandered down this path once before looking for the WPE and WDX SWL
callsigns. There is a WPE website someplace and Popular Electronics has an
interactive e-mail capability so you might check with them. Of course, I may
be confusing Hank Bennett with Tom Kneitel as they were both involved in that
at one time or another. Tom is with Popular Communications (and CQ?) now and
may be a source of some leads.

Sorry I do not have anything more specific.

Dang, I didn't know the 815 was two 2E26s! (Open large book of things
I didn't know and make another entry...) Makes perfect sense, though.

Speaking of 10 meters, does anybody know how 807s behave up there? How
about 5933s (shorty 807s). I've never built a 10 m rig, but I've been
feeling a bit of an itch lately.

Our software prides itself on being incredibly TIME efficient. We offer multiple testing modes, a slick interface, and a lot
of customizability. While it varies from person to person, it's not a stretch to conclude that you'd save about 6 or more
hours studying for a given test by using our software than by using the web-based tools. Isn't your time worth more than $5
an hour? And if you take more than one test (remember--our software comes with lifetime free upgrades)--isn't your time worth
more than $2.50 / $1.80 / $1.25 .. an hour?

Our software is very reasonably priced, and has exceptional feedback from its users who value their time. We sell a great
product at a very nice price. While we mean no disrespect to our friends at ARRL, remember: you can also save "$$$$$" on
rock salt for when it snows by taking those packets home from McDonalds... :)

I'll chime in on this one and say that I thought the software was very good. I
had used some of the online tests, but I found that they were not a time
efficient. I also found the software to be very versatile so that I could do a
lot more custom things with it which I think helped me a great deal.

And no I don't work for them, and no they did not ask me to post this. I just
thought I would toss in my 2 cents worth because I was pleased with the
software.

Subject: I need a name

Greetings BA Aficionados:

I need a name to identify my radio buying/using tendencies (like you
associate with the name “Boat Anchors”).

A few decades ago, I started out in Ham radio as an under funded
teenager. I sought whatever radio gear I could gather that would provide
me with the most functionality I could achieve within my scarce budget.
At that time, it meant that I ended up with a rich litany of Boat Anchor
gear. I would only hold onto one radio long enough until I could
accumulate additional cash, coupled with the selling of my current BA,
to move up to a more capable BA. At that time, there were no romantic
collectors’ pressures on the commerce of older radios. Mostly, older
hams were glad to off load these space wasters on the young punks. I
learned a lot from repairing and modifying these rigs and I did not feel
any pressure to maintain the rigs pristine virgin status. At that time,
these rigs had no collector’s value.

Fast forward through time, add a spare tire and some gray hair, and I
find myself with much the same attitude toward radios. I still get a
kick out of buying someone’s used radio, cast off in favor of the latest
Japanese bell-n-whistle box. I love to pick up a broken radio –
dirt-cheap, drop $30 worth of parts into it and have it radiating into
the ionosphere once again. It would be even more satisfying if I could
hand it off to an under funded neighborhood teenager, but I digress.

I don’t feel comfortable amongst the BA crowd. Don’t get me wrong, I
love the warm glow of hollow state technology (though I’m not obsessed
by it) and have a lot of fond memories of placing my fingers on and in
these old beauties. I like radios where you need to rock the band
switches and twittle the knobs. But they have become priced out of my
comfort range (I call it, being a cheapskate thank-you). I feel a
social obligation not to violate a Boat Anchors original condition by
keeping my fingers out of it (half the fun if you ask me). I’m just the
kind of guy who would homebrew an IC Xtal calibrator and shoe horn it
into a BA (screams of horror!!) instead of spending months hunting down
the original tube calibrator option and paying big $$$ for it.

So I’m steering clear of the BA world. But there are still opportunities
out there if only I could place a name on them. There is a genre of
forgotten rigs which fall in between the BA era and the current uP
appliances. Many of these rigs were solid state/vacuum tube hybrids with
little or no digital components. I think most hams refer to these old
radios as “Backup rigs”. A backup rig is an old radio, sitting on your
storage shelf that’s lost its re-sale value. It just isn’t worth the
bother trying to get rid of it.

I don’t think anyone would label it a “hate crime” if I were to stick my
fingers into one of these radios to tinker and modify. Would anybody
really care if I were to drill a hole into the front panel of a TS-520
to add a switch? Not many anyway.

So give me a name for these radios. If you make the name sound fun and
catchy, then maybe other nar-do-wells like me might leave your pristine
BA’s alone and move on to our new stomping grounds.

73’s - Jeff - KA9S


P.S…As a matter of personnel taste, I think radios should be as large as
possible. They should have dials, not digits, and have lots of knobs
that are large enough to wrap one’s fat fingers around. You shouldn’t
have to squint to read the labeling on a radio. One knob should have one
function. To heck with tiered, multi-function menu systems. They should
emit a faint hum that jumps and undulates as you transmit. And if the
dial lights dim a little at the same time – well, that’s OK to. A real
radio would completely occupy your peripheral vision and let you know
that your are working with something really impressive.

Just because a string of gasoline shortages has forced us to drive ever
diminishing automobiles is no reason to compress the size of radios we
place in our houses. Big is beautiful baby!

Cool!! Radios should be tough, there was a guy in another group that dropped
the corner of a newer radio about 4 inches and grenaded the filaments on the
panel lamps. You could drop a BC-384 four FEET and dust it off and it would
work just fine.

When my XYL noticed the copper pipe loop antenna on top of my truck's
camper shell she called me "Eccentric". Or my 75 meter dipole growing
like a bean stalk out of her garden. I think that she has actually grown
to see my gray BC-779 and B&W 5100 as somewhat artistic. Maybe if you
stretch it a bit we're kind of the artisans of the day. Forming our
artistic statements out of the discards of a bygone era. Not one of them
running a "Program". Not one could be called "Intelligent". Paperweights
each and every one.

Nah. Jeff you are really a 'Boat Anchorer' at heart I suspect.

Drop the tough/practiacl exterior and get nostalgic like the rest of us!

I recently dragged a 90 pound, 60 year old monster back from the UK, getting
it under the 70 pound limit for check in baggage by partiallly dismantling

Nah. Jeff you are really a 'Boat Anchorer' at heart I suspect.

JB:

I bought a 51J-4 at a surplus yard about 15 years ago for $20.00. It was
sitting on a pile of junk and didn't look too good. It had been stripped of
its filters before being discarded, and the slug rack was out of mechanical
alignment. It was a relatively easy job to fix the slug rack, but filters
were another problem.

I found a 9 kc Collins filter at a flea market with the right center freq
(500 kc) and correct pin spacing, and although it was not meant for the
51J-4, it works beautifully. 9 kc gives great audio on AM. I got the
filter for $5. Clearly these were the days before the Collins collectors
got into a feeding frenzy and drove the prices to their present levels.

For a SSB filter I am using one salvaged from a Collins 618-T. It is a
round cylinder with solder lugs, so I had to make a carrier for it out of
circuit board material, with the proper pin spacing. The pins on the 51J-4
filter are the same as on HC-6U crystals, so you can make connectors from
defunct crystals, or sacrifice some useless crystals for a better purpose.

The 618-T used different circuit capacitance to resonate with the mechanical
filter's transducer coils, compared to the 51J, so I had to add some
parallel inductance across the filter terminals to optimize the filter
performance.

Hope these ideas help.

By the way, I still have some of the 618-T filters, but only in the SSB
bandwidth. I haven't yet found a CW bandwidth filter, but perhaps someday
I will find one.

Subject: Paper capacitor question

I just got finished re-capping (100%) a DOA Hammarlund HQ-120.
Virtually all the caps (Corny-Dub. "Tiger" brand) were leaking and most
were unmeasurable, capacitance-wise. Its working just fine now.
Question is, I also have an SX-28 ('42) that still has all the original
Sprague caps in it and it works perfectly (not that some of the caps
aren't a bit long of tooth). Are these "tigers" akin to the
black-beauties in the reliability arena? Thanks for any insight.

Subject: BADASS!

I just found the coolest site on the web that I want you to check out. It's called Soundom.net and it's a company that pays us do what we are already doing: listening to music! Thats right, Soundom PAYS US for listening to our MP3s, CDs or Internet Radio. All we have to do is download the Soundom Application or the Plugin to Winamp, Windows Media, or Sonique (others are on the way). And they pay in US DOLLARS that we can spend anywhere, not vouchers or some other internet currency. Best of all, you can ear
n additional money by referring people to sign up for Soundom!

Just when you think it could not get better, it does. Soundom also pays the artists every time we play them, just like a radio station would. So we're supporting our favorite artists just by playing their music.

Soundom is launching the program later this summer, and is going to be rolling out on a first come, first served basis. So check it out at http://www.Soundom.net

While this is only tangentially related to Radio's, I suspect there will

For some strange reason I've become fascinated with Dekatrons and other

12/13 pin: GS10C, 6476/A, 6910, Z502S, 7978

Also spec sheets/literature would be very welcome.

I wouldn't mind a few inexpensive nixie tubes as well.

I have a good assortment of more "conventional" tubes to swap etc.

Relax, Mac! Insults are no remedy for the thing that offends you. While
I can't fathom anyone, especially someone who listens to the HF bands,

Amazing isn't it? This is one thing that Hallicrafters did well most of
the time. A nice pair of 6V6's or 6F6's in push-pull for the audio!
Volume (today manufacturers brag about anything more than about a watt.
One watt!) and rich, warm, clear, tone. I think it had a lot to do with
the marketing philosophies of the two companies. Collins was a military
contractor, and good audio just doesn't seem to be much of a concern for
battlefield comms, though I don't know why, since good audio means
intelligibility, plus it helps the poor soldier that has to sit by the
rig 14 hours a day do his job better. Hallicrafters on the other hand
sold to civilians mainly, and far more SWL radios than Ham. Hams can
tolerate all sorts of noise. We have to. Such are the perils of HF at
the power levels we may use. SWL's are pickier, even the real DXers.
When the signal you are tuning beams at you from antenna arrays that
cover acres, and which radiate RF in the 100's of kilowatts in many
cases, you get used to signal quality that would seem overkill to a ham.
Ham HF is to SWL HF what AM is to FM where the music lover is concerned.

Subject: Hallicrafters Haters Association (more on audio old and new)

As with so many things, that depends largely on what you are using it
for, and what you value in terms of functionality and performance. For
CW and AM SWL, even DX, the SX-100 (and other high-end Hallies) is still
a mighty fine working radio. No one likes seperate receivers and
transmitters anymore (does anyone make such beasts?!), but if you are
like me and don't contest, don't do mobile HF, have fun DXing but don't
take it too seriously (16 countries and 31 states in 3 years of hamming,
woohoo!), and don't have skatey-eight "favorite" frequencies that you
have to have entered into memories, then an SX-100 or a Drake B-line is
more than enough radio. And on one score, especially near a solar
maximum, boatanchors exceed their modern SS rivals: audio. On both TX
and RX, code and phone, I can listen longer with less fatigue to a tube
rig than a solid-state. Hour long QSOs and BBC dramas are plain tiring
on the new stuff. Even with the best outboard speakers or headphones, I
can listen that long, but sure don't want to.

Not that KenYaeCom *couldn't design comparable solid-state audio stages
(though thermionic audio has a sound, actually a form of mild
distortion, that I love and crave), they can. It is just that somehow
audio has been de-valued in the radio design engineering world,
expecially HF, in the last 20 years. I don't know why this is, but on
all scores, all makes, all models, with a few exceptions like Drake,
Grundig, and possibly Ten-Tec, just sound yukky. Small speakers, low
output, crappy stock electret condensor microphones, and little
attention to AF circuit design all around.

Again, this mystifies me, insofar as there have been absolutely
tremendous advances in performance in almost all other regards, and
inasmuch as good audio circuits are easy and cheap to design and build
compared to RF and IF and DSP circuits. Somehow, the idea has gotten
around that you don't *need* good audio in a communications receiver or
HF transceiver, at either end. The first thing any good ricebox needs
out of the package is an outboard speaker and a replacement for that
microphone that has the same element as a $30 handheld cassette tape
recorder. Why don't they get it?

Subject: Hallicrafters Haters Association (more on audio old and new)

As with so many things, that depends largely on what you are using it
for, and what you value in terms of functionality and performance. For
CW and AM SWL, even DX, the SX-100 (and other high-end Hallies) is still
a mighty fine working radio. No one likes seperate receivers and
transmitters anymore (does anyone make such beasts?!), but if you are
like me and don't contest, don't do mobile HF, have fun DXing but don't
take it too seriously (16 countries and 31 states in 3 years of hamming,
woohoo!), and don't have skatey-eight "favorite" frequencies that you
have to have entered into memories, then an SX-100 or a Drake B-line is
more than enough radio. And on one score, especially near a solar
maximum, boatanchors exceed their modern SS rivals: audio. On both TX
and RX, code and phone, I can listen longer with less fatigue to a tube
rig than a solid-state. Hour long QSOs and BBC dramas are plain tiring
on the new stuff. Even with the best outboard speakers or headphones, I
can listen that long, but sure don't want to.

Not that KenYaeCom *couldn't design comparable solid-state audio stages
(though thermionic audio has a sound, actually a form of mild
distortion, that I love and crave), they can. It is just that somehow
audio has been de-valued in the radio design engineering world,
expecially HF, in the last 20 years. I don't know why this is, but on
all scores, all makes, all models, with a few exceptions like Drake,
Grundig, and possibly Ten-Tec, just sound yukky. Small speakers, low
output, crappy stock electret condensor microphones, and little
attention to AF circuit design all around.

Again, this mystifies me, insofar as there have been absolutely
tremendous advances in performance in almost all other regards, and
inasmuch as good audio circuits are easy and cheap to design and build
compared to RF and IF and DSP circuits. Somehow, the idea has gotten
around that you don't *need* good audio in a communications receiver or
HF transceiver, at either end. The first thing any good ricebox needs
out of the package is an outboard speaker and a replacement for that
microphone that has the same element as a $30 handheld cassette tape
recorder. Why don't they get it?

Subject: HT-32 Help Needed

Folks --

I'm in the process of restoring my HT-32 Mk 1 transmitter, and need some
technical assistance.

My problem is low power on 80, 40, 15, and 10 meters. 20 Meters is fine
with output around 80W or so. The other bands are around 35 to 40 W.

While trouble shooting this problem, I ran across something interesting that
may or may not be contributing to this problem. It's the level of the 9 Mhz
carrier oscillator signal. (If I'm getting 80W out on 20, but only 35 to 40
on the other bands, I tend to think the carrier osc isn't the problem as
it's band independent....but.....).

The following measurements were made with my homebrew RF probe (from the
ARRL handbook) and a Heathkit IM-11 VTVM.

On the HT-32, I removed tubes V6 (Het Osc) and V7 ( 2nd Mixer). I then
measured the carrier osc signal on pin 1 of V7. The reading was between 0
and 0.08 volts as the RF Level control was turned. This voltage variation
occurred with the RF Level set between 6.5 and 10 (which itself seems
strange -- I expected full control range ).

As a sanity check, I did the same test on my HT-37, which works fine. The
reading on pin 1 of V7 (1st mixer) was between 0 and 0.35 volts, pretty much
across the full range of the RF Level control. This is in the ballpark of
what I expected on the HT-32.

Are my readings for the HT-32 correct? Any comments on the RF Level control
being only effective between settings 6.5 and 10?

Thanks

A single 807 gives me 25-30watts out in my old Knight-kit T-50. That
is class C. According to the 1968 handbook, with a pair of 807s in
AB2, 750v on the plate and 300 on the screen you would get about 120
output. I don't have a schematic. Pick up a old handbook. I'm sure
youcan find something there. Also be aware that a 1625 is the same
tube except for the filament.

Hi Mike:

I am not an expert, but I do have about 10 bugs. The bug you have is not
real common, although not uncommon. Because it is virtually new, it
probably will bring a premium.

I would guess one in good condition would bring $100. However, because they
do not make them anymore, and because all you need is one collector who is
willing to pay extra for one in that condition, it may be worth at least a
few hundred dollars. So, expect $100 and be pleased if you get $200. It
should bring joy to someone.

good luck, Colin K7FM

Subject: Decade counting tubes / Dekatrons

While this is only tangentially related to Radio's, I suspect there will
never be a Dekatron newsgroup!

For some strange reason I've become fascinated with Dekatrons and other
counting tubes - I'm looking for some more to play with, and would like to
purchase or swap for any of them, including:

7 pin miniature: 7155, 6879
Octal: GC10B, 6802, 6909, Z303C
12/13 pin: GS10C, 6476/A, 6910, Z502S, 7978

Also spec sheets/literature would be very welcome.

I wouldn't mind a few inexpensive nixie tubes as well.

I have a good assortment of more "conventional" tubes to swap etc.

My first Decatron construction is below:

This receiver is in excellent shape. It has been thoroughly cleaned and
lubricated. All new electrolytic capacitors have been installed. A new drum
dial was installed. Receives broadcast and AM shortwave fine. Sensitivity is
low on some bands. This is a late model set, uses 6BA7 mixers and 6CB6 RF
amp. Front panel is excellent, no broken or chipped knobs. The cabinet has
been touched up with St. James Gray paint. A previous owner has added three
RCA type jacks on the rear panel. These can be removed and holes plugged if
desired. This is the only modification I can find. This set has a crystal
calibrator installed. All internal shields are intact. Included with the set
is a Collins color manual and a Sam's photofact folder. Also included are
two plug in adaptors on which I have no documentation. I believe them to be
product detector adaptors which plug into the internal accessory socket in
the receiver. This set is exceptionally clean, guaranteed no dust or crud
inside or out. I have .jpeg files available if you would like to see them,
just email me. $650. Shipping will be extra and I will insist on double
boxing with lots of packing material. I live in the Houston TX area if you
want to pickup or see this receiver.

After much thought I have decided to part with my HX-50A transmitter. The
price is high, however this is truly a collector quality rig. It even
smells new. Come complete with original carton and manual. Does not have
the 160 meter add on. The rig is in excellent condition. The only band I
used with it was 20 meters and it operated well on all modes (CW, AM and
SSB). There is not a scratch, rub, dent or mark of any kind on this radio.
The chassis is equally clean. I am selling because I am not going to set up

Mark, it may not be relevant, but one of the limitations of the HT32 line is
that they do not have loading controls. So, one may obtain different output

this (I'm assuming you've already checked the internal alignment).

Hi Mike:

I am not an expert, but I do have about 10 bugs. The bug you have is not
real common, although not uncommon. Because it is virtually new, it
probably will bring a premium.

I would guess one in good condition would bring $100. However, because they
do not make them anymore, and because all you need is one collector who is
willing to pay extra for one in that condition, it may be worth at least a
few hundred dollars. So, expect $100 and be pleased if you get $200. It
should bring joy to someone.

good luck, Colin K7FM

I have one of those critters. Anyone know where one can get it
properly serviced? It tends to stick after a couple of years of use.
All I get around here are dumb looks at it.

I would prefer one of the real U.S /MM clocks or Naval clocks anytime.
But, it must have the proper silent periods marked.

Oh, well. The Russian thing looks nice, though.....

Subject: What to do with old stuff

Over the years I have collected a whole bunch of old,
real boatanchors. Things like a DX-40, Drake 2B,
many old transceivers, HQ170, and so on.

Quite frankly, I don't see how I can sell those things,
honestly, for more than $100. Most have minor
eccentricities.

But for $100, it simply isn't worth packing them up
and shipping them. So they sit there. Same problem
with giving them away. I'd still have to ship them.

I ask on the local nets for people who would like them
really cheaply, and nuttin. The new hams, of course,
have never heard of tubes, and would kill themselves
on the HV.

I suspect I'm going to through them out! Seems a pity.

It is not too difficult to design a receiver with a noise floor that is well
below man-made and atmospheric noise. Therefore, you may wish to
consider selectivity to determine your choice.

Subject: FS: APS-104 radar modulator

FS: mil surplus modulator unit from APS-104 search radar (likely from
B-52 bomber - 1960s vintage). Was used to fire a large pulse magnetron
(in another unit). Contains a 4C35 thyratron, four 3B29 HV rectifiers
and a few smaller tubes, oil caps, relays, transformers and other parts
all in airtight aluminum canister. Also have copy of service manual
(extra $5 for all, n/c for just the basic schematic & info). Still in
original box, but used, collector's item, $55 (prefer pick up - box
exceeds UPS size limit).(For an additional $20, I can shave down the
foam insert and modify the box for UPS shipping, just takes a lot of
time & effort to do this, and will cost at least another $40 to $60 to
ship 105 lbs.) Located in southeast Alabama, 36330 zip. Email or call

Subject: Help with HQ-170 needed

I just finished going through 2 170's (one was an "A"). The LO appears to
me to be a real culprit in the ones I've been associated with. A scope is
almost a requirement to check if the first and second conversion
oscillators are OK. I'm told that there are also 2 of the IF cans that go
out with some regularity. When I was selling off one of my junkers, I got
quite a few responses to one or two of the cans. One of ones I just fixed
had a bad conversion oscillator crystal. Luckily I had one, on hand.
To reiterate, if the B+ voltages are OK (the difference in the glow of the
VR tube is probably OK. Mine does that when going to standby. Reason:
Load on circuit drops, voltage across VR tube changes.), proceed and ensure
that the oscillators are functioning. On 160 and 80, only the 6C4 is
oscillating (diff req for each band, of course). Above 80 meters, the
second oscillator portion of V3 comes into play. Its a fixed freq of 2.580
MHz. After that, it gets down to injecting a signal at Pin 1 of V4 (455
kHz) and checking the IF and audio chain. Then back to the antenna with an
appropriate input signal for band/frequency. Another set of hints can be
found at the BAMA website.
ftp:bama.sbc.edu/downloads/hammarlu/hq170txt/hq170.txt (I think that's
correct), or just search on bama+hammarlund. Good luck with the project.

By ALL means go to the Techniska Museet, there is a communications
museum there that is totally DYNOMITE!!! It is wonderful. Four
sections, one each for telephone, telegraph, radio and TV. Huge amounts
of beautiful old equipment and a fully operating telephone relay
switch. It's great to hear the clicks and burps when you dial the
phone. They also have an operating ham station, SK0TM. Plan to spend
at least half a day there. (I was just there last month and regretted

I am looking to buy a MILL TYPEWRITER. Such machined were manufactured for
use by telegraphers and had only a single case (all capitals) of letters.
Typically there was no SHIFT key and many times the typewriter had sprockets
surrounding the platen.

If you know of one or have one I would appreciate hearing from you.

Subject: e-bay prices

Funny you should say that, Because I trade heavily on the various auction
boards, but almost never in Ham Gear. I have seen Heathkit stuff go for 5
times what it should, and I LIKE the stuff! I was seriously thinking about
haunting garage sales, fleas markets and thrift stores buying it up, except
it pains me to see it so darn expensive on resale. Did anyone see what the
unassembled HW9 with accesories went for on ENAY recently? You could, on the
same day, have bought a 1200 watt amp, an HF rig, and an all mode 2M rig all
together for the price of that HW9. WHEW! I sold an HW8 at the TRW flea
market 4 years ago for $25 bucks to a kid and felt bad about it.

Subject: IC-730 question and parts request

I just purchased an Icom IC-730, the same radio that I had about 15 years ago.
I do not know whether it qualifies as a boat anchor, but I have some technical
questions and I would like some parts, if they are not expensive.

This radio was supposedly aligned at the factory recently, and my faith in Icom
is so great that I immediately checked it out (first day I had it), and the
alignment was off in several ways.

I realigned the frequency readout using a digital-mode receive program and WWV,
aligning the transmitted signal with the correct spot on the program's frequency
display. This suddenly put lots of qsos at frequencies that ended with 0 kHz,
so I guess that now I agree with most folks about the frequency we are on.

The two sidebands sound quite different on noise, with the IF shift centered.
The lower sideband position is far higher in pitch than the upper sideband. I
can move the IF Shift control to a different position such that they sound the
same, but this is almost halfway to one side. I strongly suspect that there is
a trimmer component (resistor, capacitor, or coil) that can be adjusted to bring
the balance point back to the middle of the IF Shift control. Can someone tell
me how to find this trimmer?

I would also like to replace the screws used to hold this thing together, both
the internal flathead screws and the external roundhead black screws. Is there
some place that sells this size hardware at a reasonable price? I do not even
need black screws, they could be plain steel, nickel, or whatever. I just do
not want to have to use my impact screwdriver again to remove these screws that
are almost completely stripped where the Phillips screwdriver inserts.

Thank you for any assistance.

As just a visitor to this list I imagine the following links are pretty
much old news, but I'll mention them in the off chance that they aren't
that well known after all:

"The Military Commo Equipment List," at URL
<http://www.telalink.net/~badger/millist/mi.html>

"Tube Database Search," at URL <http://www.nj7p.org/cgi-bin/tube>

"Nostalgia Air Tube Substitution & Characteristics Guide," at URL
<http://www.NostalgiaAir.org/otcr.htm>

The first URL, above, includes links to the latter two; all three are
currently valid.

Referring to your inquiry, NJ7P's excellent online lookup feature (the
second link above) shows entries for the 6KV6 and 6KV6A. The 6KV6
returns the following, along with the usual data:

> Prefered Substitutes . . . . 6JG6

I picked up a SONY ICF-6700W radio this week and am looking for the
operational manual. I would pay for your valuable time, Cost and
shipping if you could make me a photo copy. If by any chance you have
the service manual, well that would be icing on the cake. Your help
would be appreciated, and thank you in advance.

By ALL means go to the Techniska Museet, there is a communications
museum there that is totally DYNOMITE!!! It is wonderful. Four
sections, one each for telephone, telegraph, radio and TV. Huge amounts
of beautiful old equipment and a fully operating telephone relay
switch. It's great to hear the clicks and burps when you dial the
phone. They also have an operating ham station, SK0TM. Plan to spend
at least half a day there. (I was just there last month and regretted
the shortness of time I had allocated).

The transmitter is a "PL 7668337 G6 Rev" strip.

The receiver is a "PL 7484534G 11 Rev A" strip.

The original power supply has been replaced with a 120 VAC unit
(looks like OEM), which is straightforward enough, so P/S data is
optional.

(I =think= this is vintage "pre-prog" but I have only the Vol II book of
the GE Pre-Progress Line, which doesn't cover the low band units.)

Any info or leads will be much appreciated. Will gladly remit for

Now that would have been a *true* (and very rare) collectors item, which is
what drove up the price..

A Ham who used to live about 30 miles from here had just about, if not
every, example of heathkits. He not only had the radio stuff, but computers
and TVs. Now, there would have been an estate sale.

The Hallicrafters SX-115s were going out of sight and currently much of the
Hallicrafters stuff is somewhat above market, *but* it's coming back down.
They are now running less than half what they did a week ago. A month ago
they were in the market value range.

There was an FPM 200 on there which is a true antique and very rare. Not a
very good radio, but rare. Although it went for as much as my *new* station
it was probably about right.

So maybe they will get back down to where I can put together an operating
station. Actually I do have an HT32A and an HT32B, but they need some
cleaning. They do work though<G>

I'd like to get the whole Halliscratchers line eventually, but not all at
once. For what they weight, I couldn't afford that much equipment by the
pound<G>

I just purchased a nice SX101A for $100 locally and there are two of them
(also nice) on e-bay at $225 with a couple of days to go. Even for very
clean ones that is a little above market.

It's possible there is a sudden increase in collecting the stuff, or some
other reason the prices spiked.

all

Yah, but in the case of a Heathkit collector that thing was gold, or more
so.
A genuine "Original" *untouched* kit.

Collecting is funnny business. If you bought one of the "Centennial
Winchester Rifles" in 1976, the box alone is now worth quite a few hundred
dollars (It can be worth more than the original price of the rifle). A
calendar that Winchester gave away, with the "Declaration of Independence"
on the cover is quite valuable now.

Radios? I guess the old saying that "One man's junk is another's treasure".
really holds true<LOL> Cuz there is an afful lot of junk out there and
buying the old boat anchors has to be love, as the best of them don't hold a
candle to todays high quality rigs.

One thing the old rigs do well that todays don't is "heat the shack". <:-))

The difficult thing is to know market value and then not get pushed above
that.
Even then there will be those who want a specific piece and no one is going
to outbid them reguardless of market value. While others can just get
caught up in the bidding with the "Just a *little* more might get it
thought.

It only takes one or two items from a group that go way over market to bring
the rest up a bit, but things *usually* return to more or less normal within
a few weeks, or months.

Depends on the reason why it went up and with any auction there can be many
reasons. Some of them not good.

Viking I going for $1000 right now on eBay. I mean, sure, it's been nicely
repainted. Is it worth a grand, tho?

Ranger I's above $400. Matchboxes going up to $400. It's nuts.

Subject: e-bay prices

You're right about the absurdly high prices on E-Bay, but there is no such
thing as a "book price" on used ham radio equipment. it's worth as much as at
least one buyer is willing to pay. I may think it's foolish for somebody to pay
$400 for a Viking Ranger, but I guess some people get caught up in the
excitement of an auction--even one on line--and go overboard on what they're
willing to spend. Also, there's a lot of spare cash around these days.

Guys, all of the complaints about eBay should be tempered with some reason
and logic.

1. The seller .. The seller wants to get as much as he can for his item
(whatever it is) and sell it as quickly as possible. I don't think there is
any argument here!

2. The Buyer .. The buyer want neat stuff as cheap as possible. There can
be no arguments here!

The problem is that there are prospective buyers that think they should be
able to buy whatever they want at a price that they think is fair! W R O N G
!! The friggin market dictates the price and those who pay get and those who
want to complain about it come here!

I have been around this newsgroup for 6 years and bought and sold a lot of
gear. We have all had to put up with the damn whining "price police" like
Donnie, who gave people a hard time and hassled people until they got sick
of it and left for a better forum. There are those guys who would see a fair
price on an item and call up with an insulting offer. They drove people to
another forum too.

I just advertised a Kenwood TS-940S (20 million serial number) here for $850
and got many insulting offers. One guy emailed me and his text read "final
offer $550 and you pay shipping". I got phone calls telling me how unfair my
asking price was and they would give me XX and if I was a reasonable person
I'd see it their way.

Well I didn't! I put it on eBay and in the first 8 hours I had over 80
people look at it. In 6 days of auction I had a total of over 900 people
view it. One gentleman wanted it real bad and called me and asked me what I
was looking to get. I told him $850 plus shipping .. he PayPaled the funds
immediately .. he got the radio .. I got my $850 .. and not once did I have
to put up with the bull that I did by posting it here!

So all you whiners out there and you "price police" that ruined this group
.. go ahead and complain. Fact is .. Ebay rules for both seller (who gets a
fair market price and no bullshit) and the buyer (who might pay a little
more but gets protection from fraud, credit card convenience, knowledge
about the integrity of the seller, huge selection of great goods with
pictures, etc, etc, etc.). Or you could sit here and whine a little more!!

Subject: eBay RULES !!! Whiners lose !!!

Larry:

I'm inclined to agree with you here. Personally, I like to buy & sell
within the newsgroups, however, for the same reasons you've pointed out,
I've been driven to go the Ebay route. I try to be fair at all times. What
I started doing is initially posting items in the newsgroups, for sale, with
a mention that if it doesn't sell within a specified time frame, I will post
it on Ebay. This way, someone in the newsgroup who is serious, will usually
respond. If I don't get my asking price, or something "reasonably" close,
then it goes to Ebay. Without exception, Ebay has always netted me a better
price, then I was asking in the newsgroups. This is not a bad thing! I
don't force anyone to bid at all, let alone a higher price than I was
willing to settle for. They simply paid what they were willing to pay, for
an item they wanted. I think this results from reaching a MUCH larger
audience! You would be surprised the number of people who know nothing
about newsgroups!

I think if newsgroup buyers want to see postings return to the newsgroups,
they need to be serious, and reasonable. I've posted items here that were
worth much more than my asking price, and someone will inevitably come back
with an offer of sometimes hundreds of dollars less! Or they don't want to
pay shipping, etc.

It's only logical that if a person is selling an item, and they agree to pay
the shipping charges, then they have already thought out, and included those
shipping charges in the price of the item. I choose to break them out
separately, in case someone locally responds to the ad, and can pick it up,
then they obviously don't have to pay shipping.

So what is the big attraction to Ebay? Clean, and green transactions!

eBay is a "textbook" free market system stripped down to the bare minimum.
What could be better! The fair market value of a piece of equipment is
whatever someone is willing to pay. I with you Roger.

There are those who swear by e-bay and those who swear at it.

Read my follow-up post to the original.
Then pay attention to what I wrote.
I only asked if any one else had noticed the prices going up. Nothing more

Your original point is well taken. The TCS rig that went for about $1200 is an
example. Perhaps ebay is setting the pace, but its on-line only! Ebay prices
are laughed at at all the fests in the DC area and, I might ad, equipment sells
at what one might call slightly more reasonable prices. Maybe its because when
the gear is up front and personal, where you can see it, the fantasy wears thin,
quickly.

Yah mean you can see the scratches and dents along with the rust and smell
the cigarette smoke up close and personal
<LOL>

Where or where is my old KWS-1/75A4 combination. It was big, noisy and
I didn't have to turn on the heat when it was running.
It also took darn near a year before it quit smelling like an ash tray.
Either that, or my sinuses were shot.

I could run both my current rigs plus the Henry and it still wouldn't get
that warm. <:-))

But just wait. by some time this winter I plan on having seperate stations
for HF, VHF, and UHF all capable of the legal limit...Unfortunately I think
the legal limit on 450 here in Michigan is still 50 watts.

Only one more section to go on the Rohn 45 and it'll be up. Then I start
with the antennas.

Hello. Thanks for looking at this. Today, I picked up a Lavoie Labs Model

On many old steel radio chassis there is a gold coating.
The military stuff had a fungicide that looked similar, but was much
thicker. This stuff looks more like anodizing, but it's on steel.

Any one know what it is and where it can be found.

Subject: Astor Stereogram

Does anyone know of the following StereoGram:

Make: Astor
Model: Unknown (Possibly G18AA)
Made: 1968

The problem:

No ouput, from any of the inputs (gram, din, tv, radio)
(Although there is noise (like pink noise) coming from the left channel
amp)
The right channel amp is not producing anything.

I have been through and re-soldered all the joints, still no luck.
Does anyone have any idea what they fault may be?

Thanks;

Subject: BA Parts and Tubes - 8/20/00 List

I have the following parts for sale. Too much stuff, not enough basement.
Shipping (from 19087) is not included. Prices shown are asking prices for
single units - let's make a deal! Big discounts on quantity purchases. Shipping
weights are estimates - you pay only actual shipping charges.

Power Transformers (all have 117 V 50-60 Hz primary)

Stancor PC-8417 power transformers (Have 2). Upright mounting style (no big
chassis hole to cut). Secondaries: 440 VCT @ 50 mA HV, 25.2 V @ 0.5 A heater
#1, 6.3 V @ 0.6 A heater #2. Mounting centers 2 X 1-9/16 inches. NOS, in the
original boxes, absolutely MINT condition. Will test if desired. What makes
these transformers special is that they are just right for building a power
supply for an unmodified "Command set" (ARC-5/SCR-274N) receiver. Heater
winding #1 is just right for the heaters of an unmodified Command set receiver,
and heater winding #2 is just right for a 6X5 or 6X4 rectifier. Using one of
those rectifier tubes and a capacitor input filter, the DC output voltage
should be about 220 volts at 50 mA. Of course they can be used for other
purposes, but the ratings are a perfect match for a Command set receiver.
Price $10 each or both for $18. (4 lbs. each) Will include 6X4 or 6X5 rectifier
tube and socket (your choice, no charge) if you need them..

UTC R-7 power transformer. Horizontal, "hole in the chassis" style with
terminals. Secondaries: 700 VCT @ 100 mA(?) HV (current rating not marked, but
at least 90 mA), 5 V @ 3 A rectifier filament, 2.5 V @ 8 A heater #1, 6.3/2.5
VCT @ 2A heater #2 (tapped so both voltages can be used). Used, dusty and a
paint is scratched up, fair-to-good condition. Tested, works. Price $4 (5 lbs.)


Variable Transformers

Superior Electric "Powerstat" variable autotransformer (similar to a Variac).
Model 116-U. Input is 115V, output can be connected for 0-115V or 0-135V,
continuously variable. Rated 7.5 A output. Open type, panel mounting with 3/8"
shaft, no scale provided. Can be connected for CW or CCW rotation, instructions
on terminal board cover. Used, tested, works, good condition. Price $25 (10
lbs.)

Filter Chokes

Stancor RC-8300 filter choke. Upright mounting style, potted in drawn metal
case. 8 Henries @ 300 mA DC. 60 ohms DC resistance. Insulation test 3500 V.
Used, good to very good condition. Tested with VOM. Price $20 (15 lbs.)

Stancor C-2686 filter chokes. (Have 2). Upright open frame type. 25
millihenries @ 4A DC. .425 ohms DC resistance. Insulation test 1500 V. NOS in
original box, dusty but unused. Tested with VOM. Price $3 (5 lbs.)

Stancor C-2688 filter choke. Upright open frame type. 10 millihenries @ 12.5A
DC. .11 ohms DC resistance. Insulation test 1500 V. NOS in original box, dusty
but unused. Tested with VOM. Price $3 (5 lbs.)

Meters

Meter from military I-166 multimeter. Round black bakelite case, white face
with scales. 0-100 uA movement. Labeled "calibrated for use in steel panels".
Price $5 (1 lb)

Tubes

V-70-D/812H Transmitting Tubes (have 2) - Made by United Electronics. These are
a "super" 812 - 85 watts plate dissipation, ceramic/metal base and plate cap,
tubular hard glass envelope, graphite anode. Test GOOD on Hickock 6000A tester.
In original plain white boxes. Not sure if these are new or used, but look and
test good. Price $22 for the pair. (3 lbs).

Receiving tubes - NOS ones are in original boxes. All used tubes tested and
good on Hickok 6000A tester. NOS tested at your request. Listed by type,
condition, quantity, brand, price each, special notes.

Eucalypt Software - Makers of Autopost & Rocketfuel --- Ripped Me Off!!!
-
All potential buyers should be warned to steer clear of this company. They have a repeated pattern
of ripping people off and ignoring requests for support.
-
I know someone who sent in the $10 registration fee for Autopost TWICE (thinking the first one may
have gotten lost) and in both instances, never got a registered version of the program and all of his
emails were completely ignored.
-
I myself purchased Rocketfuel on-line and had to pull teeth to get an unlock code. The web site was very
quick to take my money, but no registration/unlock code came for days and days. I repeatedly emailed them,
only to receive nothing but autoresponses. After 5 days I sent them a message stating that if I did not have
a working version of the program by the close of business that day, that I would challenge the credit card
charge. Magically, the code arrived several hours later.
-
What kind of way to do business is that?
-
In any case, its academic... there are other products available for free that do virtually the same thing
and I only wish that I had known about them before I wasted my time with Eucalypt Software.
-
If your in need of automatic news posting software, there is nothing better than "NNTP Power Post 2000".
It's graciously been made available free from the following web site:

Duh. If you don't like the prices at that e-boutique, don't shop there :-)

Minutes after I arrived at the Seattle swap meet this morning, I passed by a
lady with a gorgeous Hallicrafters SX-28 with matching speaker in the back
of her truck. She had already sold the pair to the first asker for $200 -- a
bargain in my book. I wept silently, then passed on :-)

Now, as always, the best deals go to those who do the legwork. Some lucky
guy got there before me. No problem -- there's another good deal around the
corner, in my experience.

If your idea of legwork is sitting in your Barcalounger tapping on your
laptop, then you can count on paying a premium for that convenience. No
problem -- just consider it your e-tax.

Cheers.

I recently found this on E-Bay; apparently certain cash-hungry governments

bring in cash (Disney characters, Daffy Duck, movie stars, etc, etc). So this
might not be as hard as it first seems!

Maybe we could convince somebody to honor the R-389, R-390, R-390A, R-391 and
R-392 in a similar series; I suspect that in terms of long-term significance
that these boat anchors outweigh Kim in importance (pun intended).

Subject: WTB Solid State 866 replacement

I need to replace 866's with solid state rectifiers as the filmant xformer
is shot. Does anyone sell a plug in replacement? Or at least perhaps a 4
pin plug to fit the sockets (2) and 1.5 or more KV at 3 amps diodes so I can
make one? HELP. John

True, but there IS an "informal price range" for used items, and eBay has
shifted this into the stratosphere. For instance, how much is a Johnson KW
Matchbox worth on the used market? $100? $175? $250? $450? $1000? Because of
eBay's effect on the market, no one knows the answer anymore.

If a buyer wants to pay the eBay sellers price, that's their business. But
what happens on eBay has an influence on non-eBay trading. I have heard
sellers at swap meets apologize for the high prices on their equipment, saying
"they're selling at that price on eBay, you know".

Whoa....now just a cotton pickin' minute there Hoss....are you actually
suggesting that people actually put forth effort to get what they want?
Where do you live? On Mars? We *DONT* do that anymore...why, the very
thought is unthinkable!!! What are you ? Anti-Barcalounger or something?

Why, just you go and read the "Above 50 Mhz " column in the latest QST. In
a few years, we won't even need operators to make DX QSOs any more. Why,
just select the "Work 100 Countries" on you optoins list when you leave for
your "7 hour work day", and you'll have DXCC when you get back home!! Geeze
Phil...get a life.....

Are you sure you are thinking of the 815? AFAIK, the 815 is a heater/cathode
type, not a bright emitter filamentary tube. The 815 is a dual beam power
tube, with 2 separate plate caps. Perhaps you are thinking of 811, 813, or
814?

Would anyone have a manual for the Heathkit AR-3 Receiver. I was given


one that is in poor but salvageable condition and I'd like to return it to
use.

It also has an unoriginal tuning and bandswitch knobs if anyone had spares
to sell or trade.

I'd gladly pay for copying/postage or swap for manual copies, parts etc.

Many thanks!

The other suggestions are fine. In addition, I bought and use some heavy thread
that's used to sew leather. The stuff is the right diameter and is waxed. The
wax, rather than being slick, helps grip the part around which its wound. It
works just fine. I got quite a large spool of it for less than $2.

Anybody out there know anything about a TS-1379/U? It is advertised as an
ex-Navy 2-32 MHz spectrum analyzer, is a rack mount device, and weighs 75
lbs. Seems like it must be a great boatanchor and if I can get it to work
would be perfect for working on old boatanchors. Anyway I will be picking
it up in a week or so and am trying to find out what I have found. As

Subject: US Senator goes Green!

21 Aug 2000 19:18:48 GMT

It's hard for me to believe that the next president of the United
States will be George W. Bush or Al Gore. Both remind me of
Hollywood movies that have been focus-grouped to death: they
push all the appropriate buttons, but have zero original vision.
Both stand for the same thing: corporate-driven business as usual.

There must be some way outta here.

Ralph Nader is no joker or thief. I think he and the Greens could
give Al & George a good run for their money. At 65, Nader isn't
running as fast as he used to, and the Green Party doesn't exactly
have its platform figured out, but I think they have what it takes to
inject a dose of radical democracy into the race. Unlike the two
Tweedles, Nader is real, he stands for decency and common
sense and he still commands a lot of respect in progressive and
activist circles. And hidden behind the rainbow coalition of lefties,
eco-feminists and crazies, the Green Party does have some great
ideas. It's the only party that stands for the Tobin Tax, true cost
markets, media reform and putting corporations in their place.

In October, with a fired-up Nader hurling intelligent sound bites
into the presidential debates, the whole game show might actually be
worth watching. The alternative is the most sophomoric
presidential race in American history . . . and the lowest voter
turnout ever.

I'm putting a GO GREEN - VOTE NADER graphic at the end of all
my emails from now on. I'm betting that, between now and November,
the American people will wake up to the fact that their sacred
democratic experiment has now degenerated into a choice between a
corporate-sponsored Republican and a corporate-sponsored Democrat.

In these heady post-WTO days, a sudden, massive protest vote
against Al & George is entirely possible and Nader would be the
most apparent heir. With perhaps less than 25 percent of the
people voting, an inspired Nader campaign could grab a surprising
share of the action. And even if he does not come close to
winning, at least imagine how his campaign might pull together
some of the fired-up, post-WTO forces and lay the groundwork for
something really visionary in 2004.

Download the graphics and help launch an email pyramid scheme
to dump the Tweedles! Two formats are available, a magazine
sticker (17K) or a Banner ad (5K):

What it Means to be Green

"At the root of all Green political action is nonviolence, starting
with how we live our lives, taking small, unilateral steps toward
peace in everything we do. Green politics requires us to be both
tender and subversive. Affirming tenderness as a political value is
already subversive. In Green politics, we practice tenderness in
relations with others; in caring for ideas, art, language, and
culture; and in cherishing and protecting the Earth. To think Green
is to build solidarity with those working for social justice and human
rights everywhere, not bound by ideologies."

-Petra Kelly
