James Millen 92200 Transmatch (Antenna Tuner)........$375 plus shipping
This is an 80-10 meter 2 kilowatt unit with a built-in SWR bridge. 
According to one web site, the WARC bands are easily handled by this 
tuner using the closest band position (10 for 12, 15 for 17, 40 for 30). 
This tuner is in excellent condition with the exception of scratches on 
the top of the unit. The insides are in excellent condition and show no 
evidence of ever having been arced or burned. Includes a photocopy of 
the manual. The unit is unmodified withno extra holes. It does have one 
incorrect knob. This is a very solid antenna tuner!

Yaesu FT-101E 160-10 Meter Transceiver.........$300 plus shipping
This transceiver works on SSB, CW and AM. It also receives WWV on 10 
MHz. The radio can be operated on both 110/230 VAC and 12 vdc with the 
appropriate power cord. Only the 110 VAC power cord is included as I 
don't have the other. The unit is in nice shape and works well. I 
measured 100-120 watts out on a Bird wattmeter and the transmitted audio 
sounds excellent from on the air reports. Includes a copy of the manual 
on a CD.

manual, original mobile mounting bracket and the power supply connecting 
cable.

Courier Twenty Three+ Vintage Vacuum Tube CB Radio.....$90 plus shipping
This is an all tube 23 channel unit which looks to be from the mid 
1960's. The unit looks very nice cosmetically. I do not have a 
microphone so I was not able to fully test the transmitter. Since this 
requires a microphone to be plugged in to make the receiver operational, 
I jumpered the microphone connector. The receiver works and I was able 
to pick up signals on several channels with a piece of wire. I jumped 
the mike connector to put the radio into transmit and was able to get 5 
watts out on my Bird wattmeter.

Rare” National Radio NC-45.............$100 plus shipping
This is an 8 tube receiver made from 1941-1945 covering 550 kHz to 30 
MHz. Most models made were made the NC-45 which is an ac/dc receiver. 
The NC-45A has a transformer operated power supply. This radio does work 
and receives signals on all bands but it really need to be recapped and 
aligned.   The insides look OK but also need to be cleaned up. I will 
include a schematic.
