I'm quite sure many of you have had enough of my individually categorized FS posts.... Here's the remedy: one monster post. Most of this stuff comes from my buddy John who's been calibrating and collecting test equipment for about 15 years. He must have a triple basement dug underneath his house! A ham buddy of his also died about a month ago, and he's getting rid of a lot of stuff for the guy's estate. In most cases, I've included quit a bit of descriptive info...but if you need more specifics, especially on items I've noted that I have a manual for, don't hesitate to ask. I've also just borrowed a 1992 Hewlett Packard catalog from John, so I can fill in some blanks on the HP stuff. If possible, please seek out specs on your own. THERE'S SOMETHING HERE FOR EVERYONE! Please note that all prices are FOB Chicago, Illinois. I'd be happy to arrange local pickup, and can ship anywhere... but you'll pop for the shipping cost. Keep shipping costs in mind when making an offer. In general, I prefer COD via cashiers check or money order, but will gladly ship via a cheaper method for low ticket items provided you mail advance payment. Please respond via email & PLEASE note in the subject line of your responses the specific item/items that you are interested in, (or at least the general category/categories.) The list is categorized as follows: MISCELANEOUS GADGETRY OSCILLOSCOPES, PROBES, & ACCESSORIES FREQUENCY COUNTERS & SIGNAL/FUNCTION GENERATORS RADIO EQUIPMENT DIGITAL & ANALOG MULTI/VOLT METERS POWER SUPPLIES AUDIO EQUIPMENT VIDEO EQUIPMENT - CONSUMER & PROFESSIONAL TEST RF & MICROWAVE ATTENUATORS, AMPS, METERS MISCELANEOUS TEST EQUIPMENT COMPONENTS & MISC. PARTS ===================== MISCELANEOUS GADGETRY Surface silvered mirrors. About 1sqft, trapezoidal shape (+/- 5- 10deg at each corner.) 1/8" thick glass. THICK optically polished silver coating. Original use=???.... Each one could be cut into umpteen smaller mirrors for laser play. THESE ARE NEW- all have a protective plastic peel-off coating over the silvered side. $3 each. 1KW strobe light! Made by EG&G. Approx dimensions 6"x5"x4"deep. High Pressure Xenon tube, adjustable intensity, externally triggerable to 42kHz! 60Hz test setting (requires no external input.) Hefty 16ga metal enclosure. High quality concentrator focuses light to exit case via 1" dia cutout. Safety kill switch cuts power when case is opened. Date code 1986-7. Blind your partygoers, or synchronize speed of any mechanical movement for $150/obo Superior Electric model 116B Variac. In wrinklecoated case. 0-140VAC at 1.2KVA max power. Used, but in decent shape. $50/obo. Since it's heavy and cheap... prefer local Chicago buyer. Hay moisture meter!! 1' long probe. In case. 13-40% range. Made by Delmhorst. $50/obo ================================== OSCILLOSCOPES, PROBES, ACCESSORIES Tektronix 422. 2 Channel, portable, 15MHz bandwidth. Small: 6 3/4" high, 8 1/2" wide, 14" deep. Same design as venerable 465 - All transistors socketed and all industry standard parts inside (Allen Bradley pots, Sprague caps, etc,) except CRT and Power transformer which are perfect and RARELY crap out. This unit is perfect and has just been professionally calibrated. Comes w/ 2 probes. $250/obo. Balantine 1066B. 2 Channel, portable, 30MHz (?). Works, looks good. Comes w/ 1 probe. $250/obo Tektronix 465. 2 Channel, delayed sweep, portable, 100MHz bandwidth. All time favorite in PERFECT condition. Comes w/ copy of operators manual, but no probes. Price commensurate with impecable condition. $550/obo. Tektronix 2215. 2 Channel, lightweight, portable, delayed sweep, 60MHz bandwidth. Auto focus/intensity. Only weighs about 4lbs!!! Perfect shape w/ 2 switchable 10x/1x probes. $400/obo Tektronix 2213. Identical to above, but has no vernier dial adjust for sweep delay time... this is fixed via a switch. This scope is NOT in perfect shape electrically- all functions work fine... but you can barely see the trace. Possibly a problem in the auto intensity circuit. Useable in a dark room as is, but would make a good fixup project, or parts mule for the 2215. $150/obo Tektronix 7A16A Vertical Amplifier plugin for Tektronix 7000 series mainframe oscilloscopes. $75/obo Tektronix 134 Current Probe Amplifier.

The lot I've got covers ALL lo band, hi band, and UHF frequencies except 800-900MHz. Some have a replaceable coil load (to retune) while others are "rugged coil" and may not be retuned. They're all at least 30" long, and are brand new. They're ready to go minus a mount of your choice (you'll have to get an appropriate magnetic/gutter/etc. mount yourself at a cost of around $5.) These are not mere metal rods, but are tuned gain antennas that give 3db gain at the specified frequency for which each was designed. $30 apiece, firm. ========================================== DIGITAL AND ANALOG MULTIMETERS, VOLTMETERS Fluke 8050A benchtop meter.

Analog bargraph display under digital display. Audiable continuity indicator. This is still in the original box with all paperwork, (including warranty card,) leads, etc. (it was a display model.) Note: Some 75's were recalled by Fluke to replace a capacitor left out of later models (cost cutting caused them to read 0V when connected to very high voltage AC circuits.) THIS UNIT IS NOT IN THE RANGE OF SERIAL NUMBERS RECALLED, AND DOES NOT SUFFER FROM THIS PROBLEM. What more can I say.... it may as well be new! $85/obo Fluke 893A Differential Voltmeter. AC/DC 10nV resolution! (yes... that's nanovolts!) $120/obo Kiethly 168 Autoranging DMM. Benchtop/portable model, (DC power too?) LED digital display.

New in box. $100/obo TWO 12V regulated power supplies specifically made for operating mobile ham or car-stereo, or other 12V equipment from 120VAC wall current. One can handle 5A, the other 6A. $35/obo each. =============== AUDIO EQUIPMENT Black Widow (Peavy) 15" single voice coil subwoofer. Heavy forged aluminum frame. 4ohm impedance. Coated paper cone. Brand new in box. $80/obo Rauland Borg 250Watt PA amplifier. Supplies 25 or 70V phantom power to microphones, etc. $200/obo Marisa MK-8008A series2 Karaoke Amp/preamp/spectrum analyzer/eq/mic mixer. With this unit you can setup a karaoke system with a plain old CD player. I've tried this unit setup as part of a regular stereo system, and it sounds great. It has inputs and level pots for 3 microphones (via std. 1/4" jacks.) It has a 5 band eq, 5 band spectrum analyzer, mixing pot between mic's and music channel, and a vocal cut eq setting for the music channel, (this eq setting does deemphasize the vocals from a regular recording, but is no substitute for real karaoke software.) The music channel has inputs for Phono, CD, Video, and Aux. The power amp puts out 85W into each of two 4-8 ohm speakers via spring terminal connectors. This unit looks like it went for about $350 new. (it is rather new.) I'd like 125/obo. Electro-Voice PL76B phantom powered condensor microphone w/ balanced XLR output. $35/obo. Columbia Research Labs. Sound Pressure Level Meter model SPL103. This is a professional quality meter, and meets USAS S1.4 and R123 specifications. It reads from 40 to 140db via a detachable condensor microphone. Selectable fast or slow meter response. Leather case. Its battery operated and portable. $150/obo McIntosh C8 mono tube preamplifier. This unit dates to the 1950's. It's got one RCA jack each for tape, microphone, tuner, phono1, and phono2 input, each w/ an adjustment pot on the back panel, and also has one RCA jack each for tape output, and main output. Front panel radial controls are as follows: Radial selector knob (tape, tuner, mic, phono1,2), bass, treble, volume, aural compensation (1-5), rumble filter (1-5) (for early non-standard vinyl equalization compensation.) Front panel switches are as follows: Record compensator (950, 750, 580, 400, 280, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25hz slide switches--- also for properly eq'ing pre-standard 78's etc.). It's got a red power lamp on the front panel, which is polished brass w/ black inlaid graphics, (the front panel is mint.) The case is sheet metal, and is painted black on the sides, chromed on top, (very slight pitting), and plain old galvanized on the bottom. The back panel is also plain old galvanized. All pots have intact knobs and trim rings, (rear input adjustments are screw slot type). It's also got a small panel, removable w/ 4 thumbscrews, that exposes three of the main tubes: 3 12AX7's. Oh, its also got a back panel pot for selecting phono 2 load (12K, 27K, 36K, or 47K ohms), three unswitched, non-polarized outlets (600W total,) and an 8 pin female jack (radial... like a tube socket) for hooking up switched outlets. It can be plugged directly into AC, but was made to work best by plugging it into the AC outlet on any McIntosh power amp of that era, (I'm sure a later tube amp w/ AC outputs would work fine too.) If you're interested in one channel of vintage bliss on which to play old records- please let me know. $100/obo. =============== VIDEO EQUIPMENT Fortel CCD-HP Timebase Corrector. Used to synchronize professional video equipment. Rack mount. Full documentation w/ service and maintenance manual. Stratospherically expensive (about $20,000) new in 1983-5.
