Large 150 Volt 3.5 inch Analog Meters:

Triplett 330 G, 150 Volt AC meter
This meter is a nice large analog 3.5 inch modern meter,
ideal for monitoring the incoming line voltage in your
shack.
It is in the proverbial "black box" 4.5 x 4 x 3 inches
in size. It appears that the SK owner painted a cardboard
box black to house the meter. You may or may not want to
use the box, but the meter itself is great.
With line cord for $30.

Weston Model 1931, 150 Volt DC Meter
This meter is similar to the one above, except it is for
DC instead of AC, and is the meter only.
It is new, in its original box, with hardware. $20

Pair of 6JS6 Tubes:
These are NOS (New, but old stock) RCA 6JS6C tubes.
They were originally used for spares for a Yaesu FT-101,
but were never used. Of course they can be used in other
rigs as well.

Please note that these are NOS tubes, and not some pulls
that have been tested. $60

HyGain DCU-1 Deluxe Digital Rotor Control Box:

The innovative DCU-1 Pathfinder Digital Rotor control unit
gives you automatic operation of your brake and rotor. It
has computer control with RS-232 pass through and is compatible
with many logging and contest programs as well. It has 6 presets
for your favorite beam settings, 1 degree heading accuracy,
automatic 8-second brake delay, and 360 degree choice for
center of rotation. It operates at 110V.

The DCU-1 digital rotor control unit is compatible with the
T-2X, HAM-IV, and HAM-V families of rotators.

This unit works fine and looks fine as well.
Paper work is included for $450.

Bird 43 Watt Meter:

The Bird 43 is an insertion type RF watt meter, designed
to measure RF power and load match in 50 ohm coaxial
transmission lines. It is intended for use with CW, AM,
FM, and TV modulation. It measures power from 100 mw
to 10KW, depending on the element used. The meter provides
direct readings in watts with an expanded scale for easy
reading. The scale is graduated for 25, 50, and 100 full
scale. Elements are available in a variety of power, and
frequency ranges.

This particular meter is model 4300.21 manufactured in
March 1957, so it is the older, well constructed model.
It has "N" connectors, with the leather handle, which
is in great shape.

The meter works well. $175

50 H Element for Bird Wattmeter
This measures 50 watts full scale over the HF spectrum
from 2 to 30 MHz. $65

Buy both of the above together for $225.

VHF Wattmeters:

The first two of these have sensors that may be separated
from the meter.

Drake WV-4 Watt Meter
This wattmeter covers from 20-200 MHz, and has full
scale readings of 100 W and 1000 W.
It has type N connectors in and out.
This one works fine and looks like new. No scratches.
With paper work for $80.

Heath HM-2102 VHF Wattmeter/SWR Bridge:
The HM-2102 covers 50 to 160 MHz, with 250 and 25 watt
scales. It can be used to check SWR. SO-239 connectors
in and out.
This particular meter works great, looks great, and
includes paper work for $45.

MJF 812 B VHF Wattmeter SWR Bridge:
The MFJ-812 B measures forward / reflected power and
SWR. The wattmeter measures power on two scales, 30 Watts
and 300 Watts. It is designed for 2 meters and 220 MHz,
but can be used down to 21 MHz. It includes a field strength
meter.
It works fine and looks fine. With paper work for $25.

MFJ-207 HF Antenna analyzer:

The MFJ-207 10-160 Meter Antenna SWR Analyzer gives you
a direct readout of your antennas SWR without the need
for formulas or indirect readings. The MFJ-207 can also
be used to adjust a tuner to match your antenna without
the need for transmitting.

The frequency coverage for the MFJ-207 is approximately
from 1.75 MHz to 30 MHz in five bands. This provides a
very smooth reading of SWR at high frequencies.

It has a jack for an external frequency counter. The
MFJ-207 uses a 9V battery and measures 7½ H x 2½ W x 2¼ D
inches.

This one works fine and looks really great. It is still in
its original box, with paper work for only $75.

Communications Speakers:

Realistic 21-549 A
This speaker is about 4 inches square and about 2 inches
deep. It is rated for 5 watts, has an 8 ohm impedance, and
is listed as a 300 to 3000 Hz frequency response, making it
ideal for communications. It has a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) mono
plug, as used by most modern rigs. Gimbal mount included.
It is black in color, looks great, and sounds great. $12

Vanco SPB-5
