Not mine but i'd like to have a few. He had 2 or 3 predicta TV's that he told me he could not sell separately but did so anyway.

I see a Kiel cabinet for a AK model 53 sitting upside down on top of the shelf. Those aren't easy to find anymore. I've needed one for 3 years but it's too far away to do me any good.

I see a four-legged speaker table upside down on the top shelf, but not an AK Kiel table radio cabinet.

You're right. On second look I see that it's a speaker table.

I found the listing just last week. The gentleman was fixing up his late father's (a ham, of course) house for sale and had moved his entire life-long electronics collection to a single outbuilding. When I visited him yesterday all the prime items were gone, but he'd cut his original prices in half so I spent a couple of hours picking through the stuff.

This is what I came home with:



Some of the stuff is in good condition, some of it is hopeless, but the prices were very attractive. I asked if I could look through a box of tubes, and he gifted me the whole box.



I'm doing an inventory right now--there are 123 tubes, about half are NOS in boxes--just two ST's--a handful of subminiatures--and a most unusual-looking "Kellogg A-C Tube Type 401" still in the box. They come in so many different flavors that I can't figure out which ones to keep.

Nice finds.

Please don't throw out any tubes of types you don't want/use. They will surely be useful to someone else in the future if you pass them along.

I keep meaning to go but is probably a waste of time now. I wanted the predicta's but are long gone

Looks like the nicest thing is the horn speaker if the driver is still good.

I see a goldmine of test equipment! Not really a money goldmine, but a goldmine none the less.
