Subject: WW-II manuals and misc. for trade

Hi Gang,
I'm planning to build a push-pull 813 rig ("Big Bertha" clone) to use thi=
s
winter on 80/40 and can use most anything in the way of parts. I have th=
e
bottles, sockets, RFC, variable cap, meters and cabinet, but not much
else. I need chassis, standoff insulators, insulated shaft couplings,
output tank coil, etc. I can also use 80/40 meter rocks.
I have some well-worn (and yellowed) WW-II manuals and a couple of other
items for trade.
1. War Department Education Manual EM962, "Principles and Practice of
Radio Servicing",
by H. J. Hicks, copyright 1939, 1943, McGraw-Hill.
2. War Department Technical Manual TM11-455, "Radio Fundamentals", War
Department - 22 May 1944. ("Restricted")
3. War Department Technical Manual TM11-467. "Radar System Fundamentals",=
War Department - 28 April 1944. ("Confidential")
4. U. S. Navy Dynamic Desk Microphone, type NT-51051, new. in original
(ratty) box. Includes nice chrome stand and what must be a 20' cord.
5. U. S. Navy 0-9 Amp RF Amp meter, type NT-33, new, in original box. Ma=
de
by Westinghouse. Other markings on box: PH-38700-26; N-809245; 120867;
CIR.N288S-5296; REQ.5858 AERO/42. Meter is round, black and marked U.S.N=
=2E
Type CAY-22239-A, 25 CY. to 20 MC.
6. Complete set of 1945 QST (12 issues). One entire issue devoted to USN=
Operations. Lots of 'euphoria' about getting back on the air, call area
changes, new frequencies, etc.
Anybody interested in these items?
73,
Mike Warren - W5MAZ (in MN)

Sounds like the drive control on your Valiant has bit the dust. Forget about
getting an exact replacement as the 4 watt rating is just too low and will
cause the new pot to do the same thing. There is a real nice replacement pot
made by Philips ( I think ). It is a ceramic encased unit rated at about 12
watts and half the size of the old pot. Also it does not heat up like the
original. I have those in the Valiant 1 and 2.

Subject: fs Heath IM-4100 frequency counter/timer
In good operational condition
It measures frequency to 30 MHZ ( works up to about 40 MHZ but
accuracy suffers a bit )
has built in attenuator
(Metal case has a few extra holes in it where a mobile mount bracket
was previously installed )
110 or 12 volt operation
and comes with original Heath manual
asking $50.00 U$ for this - Shipping,Customes or taxes would be extra
