I have a few items for sale:
W5-M 25 Watt Audio Amp with Peerless 16309 output transformer. This classic
Williamson is flat from below 10 Hz to 100 kHz! I was going to restore it,
but don't really have time or a use for it. It's complete with cover and
bottom plate, and there's no rust, scrapes or dents except for a small spot
(<1/4") on one corner of the chassis where the copper plating is gone. No
broken parts. The amp has 6L6s installed instead of the original KT-66s. If
the face with all the connectors is considered the front, there is a 3/8
hole in the back and an on/off toggle switch on the left side. The wiring
job isn't very pretty, but I've seen much worse and it works. Will sell for
$95 plus shipping with a condensed manual (everything but the step-by-step).
IOW-18 5 MHz "Lab" Scope. It's clean, and being factory wired, it's very
nicely built. Works fine. Cabinet has a few small spots that are missing
paint, but no dents. No manual.
$50 plus shipping.
SBA-1400-? Computer Interface for SB-1400 (and FT-747GX). It's a small PCB
that mounts inside the radio, in series with the serial interface connector.
You mount the board to the inside of the cover with double-backed tape, and
connectors allow it to be removed with no modifications. It translates the
TTL signals normally found at the connector into RS-232. The included
software was written for DOS, but runs fine in a DOS window. It allows
control of all the remote functions supported by the radio - almost complete
control except for the analog functions like volume, drive, etc. Frequency
and memory selection are much easier than from the radio itself, and
memories can be named. The software also supports the Heath Voice card, if
anyone still has one of those. $25 postpaid.
