<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Several months ago, I completely rebuilt an AR-3
and DX-60, and described the experience and results here. I had expected to put
them on the air someday, but it's becoming obvious that that's too far down the
priority list to be likely to happen. So... I've decided to offer them, and
their accessories - the HG-10 and QF-1, for sale.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>DX-60:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Mint condition front panel and cabinet, original
knobs, and expertly rebuilt. The original harness had to be tossed, so I made an
exact replacement -same wire colors and gauges, hand-laced with waxed lacing
cord (military style), and it fit perfectly. Before beginning reassembly, I
polished up the chassis with SOS, and used paste wax to protect it - it looks
great. I also used new parts - disc caps, electrolytics, resistors, etc,
wherever possible. You'll be really proud of this one.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>AR-3:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>The copper-plated chassis was in very nice
condition as I received it, but I polished it up with SOS too - it looks like
new. I also recapped this one with fresh cans from Antique Electronic Supply,
and cleaned up all original parts before rebuilding. I replaced all the sockets
with new ones (AES had the phenolic miniature type), and replaced most of the
disc caps. I even found an unused power transformer for an AR-2, so replaced it
too. The case is in better condition than any I've seen at hamfests. I went
through a complete alignment with lab instruments. The only problem is that at
high volume with the BFO on, the radio sometimes motorboats - I didn't find an
easy cure for this.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>QF-1:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I bought this from the same guy that had the
AR-3, and there was no reason to rebuild it. It's a 10 inside and out - not even
a scratch, and it works perfectly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>HG-10:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I found this at a hamfest. It was expertly
built, and the builder must have sprayed the sheet metal parts with Krylon
before building, because the metal is just like it came out of the box new. VERY
NICE wiring job. The only problem with this unit is that the dial drum is
cracked in a few places - still holding together though. BUT, a friend sent me a
NEW dial drum, in perfect shape, which I will include. And, the knobs are not
original, but are very nice (Kurz-Kasch?) black ones with metal
inserts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>This complete station; looks good and works good, and I prefer
to sell it as a package. I can even furnish a number of spare tubes. To make it
even more complete, I'll throw in a Spi-Ro AS-2 all band antenna (160-10M) - new
& unused, and an AEA AT-300 antenna tuner that I won't be needing. Total
price: $375 plus shipping. ($275 without antenna & tuner.) Pretty cheap for
a Time Machine!</FONT></DIV>
