Magic Lantern (a REAL collector's item)..........................Offers?
Kershaw's Lantern, originally sold through Philip Harris & Co. Ltd, Birmingham, England.
Fitted with Osram 1000 watt lamp and original mains wire, (before the days of mains 'cables'...!).
Complete with lens and approximately 100 4" slides in wooden storage box.
 These sell through the London auction houses for a lot of money.

ADM. PATT. No. M361 Receiver......................................SOLD!
Regenerative receiver made by Marconi, circa 1940, a prime candidate for renovation,
the only other one I know of is in the Collingwood Maritime Museum in the south of England !
I have since been emailed by Ton Hulst in the Netherlands to say he recently found one in an
old Windmill so that makes 3 !

FDK TM-56B VHF scanning receiver..................................SOLD!
Two crystalled banks - one bank of 12 tuned manually (7 crystals fitted) and one bank of four
either tuned manually or scanned (3 crystals fitted).  I can probably find more crystals...
Operates off 12 volts, offered for less than the cost of the crystals !

Heat shrink sleeving....
I've miles and miles of heat shrink sleeving (well hundreds of feet anyway...) in three colours, green, yellow
and red.  This is from an antenna company who used it to cover loading coils on mobile antennas. The label
says  'Size = 20mm x 0.10mm', it comes 'laid flat' and would probably reduce on heating to approximately
half size (?).  I was selling this 'per meter' at one of the local Rallies some months ago but it's really not
worth the trouble and I would prefer to sell the lot.   Mail me for more information or sample.

Joymatch lllb antenna tuner......................................................SOLD !
Remember this?  Antenna tuner, well strictly speaking an antenna matcher... made by Partridge Electronics in
Broadstairs and dating back to the days of the Joystick antenna...

Russian U4324 multimeter............................................Reduced to £10
Another bit of history.  A Soviet multimeter, quite popular some years ago, probably around the time of the
Rigonda portable receivers and the Vega television...  This one reads volts (dc & ac) up to 900 volts, current
(dc & ac) up to 3 amps and resistance up to 1k x 100 ohms.  The dial is marked 1974...

MFJ-962D VersaTuner 3............................................................SOLD!
High power "T" network roller inductor tuner with built-in antenna switching, RF power/SWR metering and
balun.  This tuner is virtually unused and obviously is in 'as new' condition, complete with Instruction Manual,
original polystyrene packing and unmarked box.  A saving of £100 on a new one.

Yaesu FRA-7700 Antenna tuner..................................Reduced to £15
Small combined antenna tuner unit/preamp designed for use with the Yaesu 7700 series of receivers but obviously suitable for general use.  (I used this for medium wave DX'ing with a Yaesu Ft ONE for years).
I suspect that originally the unit derived it's power from the receiver and I have modified it to operate from 240 mains with a small built in psu.  As far as I know it still works but is a bit untidy so needs some 'tender loving care'...

Please will the gentleman from the USA who emailed regarding the above mail me again - my email spam remover was a bit over enthusiastic and deleted your mail before I could save it and reply...

Yaesu YC-355D Frequency counter.....................................SOLD !
Digital frequency counter by Yaesu, 30 - 200 Mhz., ac/dc operation. Can't confirm whether it works or
not as I don't have the power lead, (it looks like a fairly standard 4 pin connector). Appears to be in good
cosmetic condition but needs a clean. Amateur test equipment - would look good in the shack!
(20/02/03 - Power lead has appeared so it will obviously accompany the counter...)

BBC monitor loudspeakers LS3/5A..............................................SOLD!
I have a pair, i.e 2, of these highly thought-of loudspeakers.  These were designed by the BBC and were used for
OB (outside broadcast) work.  The assembly and testing of these loudspeakers was carried out by a number of
outside companies like Audiomaster and Falcon.  The pair on offer was made by RAM and carry consecutive serial
numbers, having obviously been purchased as a pair.  Any HiFi enthusiast will appreciate the quality of these units
which are still in production and remain a reference standard loudspeaker in their class. For the purist maybe...
For more information see  http://hi-fidelity.com/ls35astory.htm

Reslo microphone..........................................................................SOLD!
Reslo ribbon microphone, Beatles era, as supplied with Ferrorgraph professional recording equipment.  In
original box with impedance matching transformer, short table stand, connecting lead  and paperwork.
A lovely bit of history - and an excellent mike to boot...

DRAE PSU......................................................................................SOLD!
DRAE 24 amp 12 volt power supply.  This is a 'proper' power supply,
fitted with a large toroidal transformer in nice condition.

MFJ noise canceller........................................................................SOLD!
MFJ model 1026 Noise and Interference canceller.  Boxed and in virtually
'as new' condition with instructions.

TTC swr meter........................................................................................£5
TTC model C3042 SWR meter, probably for CB use but would obviously work on
10 meters and probably other hf bands as well.  Believed working.

Morse key.........................................................................................SOLD!
Small morse key on wooden base.

Field strength meter.................................................................................£5
Home brewed relative field strength meter.

Raymart band checker............................................................................£5

RF Field Indicator................................................................................£10

Why not make an offer for a number of
the smaller items and save on postage?

Land Rover wheel and tyre.........................................................Offers?
Land Rover 5 spoke alloy wheel and Good Year Wrangler HP 215/65R16 tyre.  I suspect this combination
has never been used and appears immaculate.  I cannot say what model of Land Rover it fits or further identify
the wheel.  It does carry some markings on the inside and if you know what they mean I can look.  Being Land
Rover it must be worth a fair bit - make me an offer and preferably collect...
I checked with a local Tyre depot and they tell me the tyre alone is  worth ~£100...

May purchase any of the above or swop - w.h.y?

I have an American Mackay Radio Type 138 marine receiver and am looking for some information
on it (handbook, circuits - anything).   I just cannot find anyone, anywhere, who has even heard of
this receiver and I cannot believe I have the only one in existence !!!   (the 128 is mentioned on the
'net -  that's an old regen receiver and not the same as my 138...).  Mackay sold their marine division
to CSF in France some years ago but they just ignore my emails.. Maybe if I could speak French...
Thanks to those who emailed me web addresses where I might get a manual...

Many thanks to all those who replied - I've yet to obtain a manual but it's looking promising...
