EQUIPMENT QUESTION

[Meir-WF2U]

Bob,

My first "ham" and not surplus receiver - was the Geloso G4/214 in 1964. I
used it for almost 10 years and did the DXCC on CW with it. The G209 is just
the older model of the same receiver, with almost no differences except for
cosmetics and maybe a tube or two.
I have 2 G-214/G-222TR stations now, waiting for a little maintenance work
(recapping the receivers' supply filter electrolytics) and the both
transmitters need restoration to the original as they both have some ham
modifications. No big deal but I like stuff original, and I just have too
many projects for immediate satisfaction of putting these rigs on the air.
I paid $250 for each pair.
There is a good Geloso site where all the documentation is available for
download. Just Google for Geloso.

They're nice radios, conservative design, but I like the way they look.

Hi Guys, Anyone heard of or know the value of a Geloso Receiver and
transmitter combo???
A G-209 Receiver and a G-222 Transmitter. Stuff looks fantastic but very
little on the web from the USA.. It is CW and AM only built late 50's
early 60's. Any idea on value???


Very Best 73's
