Here are some items for sale.  Prices do not include shipping unless 
noted.  I will ship overseas.

Collins Radio 75A-2 Communications Receiver...$400 plus shipping
This one is in pretty nice shape and the cabinet paint appears to be 
original. Their are a few chips to the paint. The front panel looks very 
good and all of the lettering is crisp, not showing signs of wear like 
you would see on receivers this old and this is approaching the 60 year 
old mark. if this I listened to it for a few hours listening to AM and 
CW on 75 and 40 meters and the high end of the broadcast band (160 goes 
down to 1500 kc). The insides are clean and the dial scales on the drum 
are in very good condition. Their is an SO-239 connector on the back 
which I don't think is original and a couple of small holes near the 
SO-239 connector which may or may not be original.  Includes a photocopy 
of the manual.

Hallicrafters SX-43 Receiver with Manual....$150 plus shipping
The receiver works but would benefit from a restoration. I listened to 
signals on the AM broadcast band, WWV at 5, 10 and 15 MHz as well as 
signals on several short wave bands. I did not hear signals on the 
higher bands or on the FM band so I would assume it needs help. The 
s-meter works, the BFO and crystal filter work. Cosmetically, it has 
lots of scuffs and scratches as can be seen in the photos. It has all of 
the correct knobs. It does not have any dings, dents or extra holes. 
This is a a heavy receiver. Includes a photocopy of the manual.

TenTec Electro-Voice 729 Microphone.....$45 plus shipping
EV Electrovoice 729 High Impedance Microphone with stand. This mike has 
a tenTec logo so it probably sold by TenTec for use with their ham radio 
equipment. Cosmetically the mike looks good but is missing some paint in 
places. I hooked the mike up to my Bogen amp and it is working. Sounded 
very good with nice strong audio when listening to it. It is currently 
wired with a 2 pin microphone connector most likely wired for use with a 
Johnson Ranger or a Johnson Valiant transmitter.
