 JRC
NRD-1002, Not
much info in the net on this one, but a JRC or NRD collectors delight Im
sure. 24 crystal spot freqs (currently populated) or VFO operation.
Voltage selectable 100-117V,
Just checked, working well apart from two bands, likely the range
switched needs cleaned, cool fluorescent green dial/band back light, top
cover is alloy too but appears home brew, bottom plate is missing
screws, no power cord, (perhaps fit an IEC?). Cosmetic condition is less
than average, some paint loss but mostly just dirty and looks like it
might clean up o.k |

 BC-348
as
per normal has had power supply fitted at some stage along with most
caps by the looks, and by someone with a body shop iron cos some
components have not escaped their clumsy workmanship!.
Fired it up via variac, working o.k. to an extent, receives on all
bands with varied sensitivities and osc accuracy, so could do with
alignment after the very hummy caps are changed at the very least.
Because of the hum I didnt leave it on any longer than to determine
tranny is okay, lighting and ballast neon ok, doesn't appear to work if
AGC is off, works been done on crystal filter side of things,. Still
very tidy, original finish and easily fixed up. Comes with a shitload of
docs about an inch thick incl a3 foldout schematics. |

HRO-M Classic Comms gear, original HRO or HRO-M?, in good order,

may have had a respray on top lid but overall looks pretty unmolested

Coil packs suffer from more cosmetic wear and tear but appear all

6.3vac and 250Vdc and fired it up, the i.f's are clearly working, can't
say the rf stage or mixer osc are working tho, but plenty of noise and
heterodyne whistles, s-meter works, gain volume, cw & phasing etc appear
to work. Might just need fingers on RF coil pack cleaned or aligned. |

 Here's
a fully optioned classic Yaesu F-line station that was bought by me from a
deceased ham estate ten years ago. Everything else I bought at that time
worked so expect this gear is no exception. I have passively checked
everything, receiver works well, tx or amp not tuned up into a load. The
transverter and VFO were not checked. Seems okay but strictly sold
as-is. FLDX400 supplied with 4 new 6JS6's, FL-2000 linear amp with 4
new 6KD6's + 2 used. FRDX400 fully optioned with all filters and the 6m
and 10 meter boards, FTV650 6m transverter, FV400S VFO, UD844 mic and
matching speaker.They are in v.good overall condition and obviously from careful
smokefree operator, even the speaker grill hasnt faded to the commonly
seen brown. hues, good sign |

 This
belonged to Arthur Cushen, the DX Legend from 212 Earn St Invercargill.
It is the same receiver that you see in his book 'The World In My ears",
a first edition autographed copy is included btw. Comes with orig
operating and service manual, in manilla folder c/w braille down side,
faint serial number on pink note on folder matches receivers. I am also
sure because I have owned other receivers of Arthur's bought in the same
venture.
This double
conversion four band .54-1.6, 1.75-34 mhz communications receiver is in
nice condition, some paint loss above calibrator switch and here and
there, oh yeah bottom cover has been repainted. The off function has
been moved to the volume control, I guess to simplify controls for poor
sight otherwise its original. |

This a.c/d.c portable was Hallicrafters answer to the Zenith Trans Oceanic which had same 5 valve line-up, this looks great in its green 'alligator skin' and gold finish. This this is the 220V export version.
Itis working but only just, it needed 250-260V via a variac to overcome
low B+ and that will be certainly due to the old selenium rectifier and
leaky filter caps, do those and it'll go like a bomb. 0.17-0.4
and 0.54-18 MHz in 4 bands, Google for more info. Incidentally when
looking for specs/manuals it is the exactly same as the TW-600 and the
S-93 which differ only in colour |

CT4, poss UK kitset, turret RF tuning. What you see is it what
you get, fired up gently today, loads of hum, some signs of life then
severely motorboats.
No further tests done, renew the HT caps,
clean all the turret connectors and recheck. The missing b9a valve is
likely an 0A2 regulator, ignore it. Pretty neat old set that should be

SR150 10-80M 125W CW, 150 SSB. pair of 12DQ6 pair
finals. From the mid sixties, original, tidy condition but not working.
Im sure it was down the track but now appears to be a short somewhere,
hopefully simple but I have neither the space nor energy.
Too
collectable to junk out so heres a project for you. Well made hefty
solid state homebrew power supply (with internal speaker) worth twice
the start bid alone. good luck. |

 Marconi CSR5A first built in 1942, this general coverage
receiver was capable of receiving CW or AM signals in the 80 khz
to 30 Mhz bands. It was a thirteen tube receiver weighing in at 68
pounds without power supply. The most notable feature, is the four
position IF band pass filter to reduce interference.
No power
supply, they look complete, bottom one has been re-sprayed
and re-lettered at sometime so that will be
the donor if needed. Untested, plenty of info on the net. good luck |

 Partial
Heathkit station consisting of SB-300 SSB
receiver, matching SB-600 speaker, SB-610 monitor scope and HM-15
reflected power meter. The latter hasn't been tested but is presumed
working. The rest are all go but for the S meter. Yes, these are 230V
versions and the use of a couple compactron valves keeps the count down.
Has the AM and SSB filters, the optional 400hz CW filter is not
installed. Condition pretty nice, some paint loss etc and receiver
wrinkle finish paint needs a damn good scrubbing.
SB-300 comes with orig assy and op manual, spec brochure plus
huge A1? (8xA4) schematic. |

 No
longer used and need more space so letting go this working vintage
lineup, FL-200B and FR-100B. Both in great cosmetic condition.
Decommissioned about 8 years ago when I bought them and working
perfectly then. I checked the receiver this week and its still good
apart from the odd scratchy pot that needs cleaning due to misuse.
Powered up tx and checked passively as have no antenna or dummy.
Looks like a few vital caps have been replaced in it s past
somewhere and theres no reason it wont tune up nicely for you. No
mic supplied and speaker is not period so is a freebie.

Murphy B40 (Murphy Radio of Welwyn Garden City, U.K)
built for naval use to replace the classic Marconi CR100's series.
Single-conversion superhet
receiver with two RF stages and three IF
stages with IF pass bands of 8 kc/s (wide) and 3 kc/s
(narrow) It is truly a 'boatanchor' as it weighs in at over 50kg
(110lb)! It was literally built like a battleship
for battleships and integrates the radar interference suppression (RIS)
technology of the day.
Continuously tuneable from 600 odd KHz to 30MHz across 5 switched bands,
500 kHz IF and a crystal filter. Customers included the following navies, HMS, Royal Australian & Royal New
Zealand. Clean front panel, appears unmolested apart from power cord
change, some rust on cabinet. Lights up, no further tests done but I
understand first r.f stage is faulty and I have no inclination to heft
this mammoth up onto the bench only a few months after elbow surgery so
out it goes. Sold as-is. Pickup only on this one sorry. |

 Sprague Interference Locator,
qty two! - one going very well, second one is complete with a full set
of tubes for spares or power supply inverter repair,
which are infact pretty hot performers 550k to 220Mhz in 6 continuous
bands. These are ex nz radio freq service and have been refitted by them
with discreet inverters for field work. One receiver works well (tested
today), the other I think doesn't (not tested today), its missing a
valve, else looks complete as the first.
Has excellent original
instruction/service manual with 30 odd pages on operation, theory,
alignment and schematics etc. Could be a nice project to build a proper
HT power supply circuit for one. |
