Dumpster Save
You have probably heard this story before. Dad had a TV repair buisness back in the day. Mom passed on recently and the house was sold. Kids are cleaning out the garage and don't want any of dad's old gear. So I saved a bunch of old gear from the dumpster. Most of it probably wasn't worth saving but there might be a few gems in here.

I have no use for most of this stuff. There are a couple old RF signal generators that I might play around with but the rest of the test equipment is up for grabs, probably free if you come and take it away.
I was told the radio was from a B-24. I'm keeping that. The TV looking thing I was told is a picture tube dummy. It has RCA on the handle but I don't see any other markings. Anyone know what it is? - Pete |

HEEEEY. I know that knob arrangement on the signal generator in the back of that pic. Is that a Precision E-200-C?

Those Sprague cabinets - any caps inside? Interested to see.. Also, a Mark III RCA jig, I believe - nice, and useable with any RCA chassis to CTC76 at least - that was the last chassis we used with ours.

Man, and I could really use some of that test equipment you've got. Too bad it'd take a week to get to ya.

That RCA CRT test jig is nice.....Not many had a built in dynamic convergence system like that. Most of that stuff at that distance and size would be unaffordable to me right now.....But if you have any Magnavox 2 button TV remotes I might be interested.

There were some RCA remotes. Are they worth anything? - Pete |

Those remotes are worth 5-10$ to the right person.

The two sons were there and what I didn't take went directly into a dumpster in front of the house or went home with them.

The latest models used single ended tubes, 6SK7, 6SA7 ETC, where the earlier models used the grid-cap metals, 6K7, ETC and a few UX types, 6B7 and 41 and a mess of oil type capacitors. |

There's a lot of information on the internet on that receiver. It's built like a tank and almost as heavy as one.
