Subject: WW-II manuals and misc. for trade

 =


Hi Gang,

I'm planning to build a push-pull 813 rig ("Big Bertha" clone) to use thi=
s
winter on 80/40 and can use most anything in the way of parts.  I have th=
e
bottles, sockets, RFC, variable cap, meters  and cabinet, but not much
else.  I need chassis, standoff insulators, insulated shaft couplings,
output tank coil, etc.  I can also use 80/40 meter rocks.

I have some well-worn (and yellowed) WW-II manuals and a couple of other
items for trade.

1.  War Department Education Manual EM962, "Principles and Practice of
Radio Servicing",
by H. J. Hicks, copyright 1939, 1943, McGraw-Hill.

2. War Department Technical Manual TM11-455, "Radio Fundamentals", War
Department - 22 May 1944.  ("Restricted")

3. War Department Technical Manual TM11-467. "Radar System Fundamentals",=

War Department - 28 April 1944.  ("Confidential")

4. U. S. Navy Dynamic Desk Microphone, type NT-51051, new. in original
(ratty) box.  Includes nice chrome stand and what must be a 20' cord.

5. U. S. Navy 0-9 Amp RF Amp meter, type NT-33, new, in original box.  Ma=
de
by Westinghouse.   Other markings on box: PH-38700-26; N-809245; 120867;
CIR.N288S-5296; REQ.5858 AERO/42.  Meter is round, black and marked U.S.N=
=2E
Type CAY-22239-A, 25 CY. to 20 MC.

6. Complete set of 1945 QST (12 issues).  One entire issue devoted to USN=

Operations.  Lots of 'euphoria' about getting back on the air, call area
changes, new frequencies, etc.

Anybody interested in these items?

73,

       Mike Warren - W5MAZ (in MN)

Sounds like the drive control on your Valiant has bit the dust. Forget about
getting an exact replacement as the 4 watt rating is just too low and will
cause the new pot to do the same thing. There is a real nice replacement pot
made by Philips ( I think ). It is a ceramic encased unit rated at about 12
watts and half the size of the old pot. Also it does not heat up like the
original. I have those in the Valiant 1 and 2.

Subject: fs Heath IM-4100 frequency counter/timer

In good operational condition  

It measures frequency to 30 MHZ  ( works up to about 40 MHZ but
accuracy suffers a bit )

has built in attenuator 

(Metal case has a few extra holes in it where a mobile mount bracket 
was previously installed ) 

110 or 12 volt operation

and comes with original Heath manual

asking $50.00 U$ for this - Shipping,Customes or taxes would be extra
