Yippie!!!!

I found a Gonset Super-12 converter (25) at the Saratoga Springs hamfest today, so I've got a receiver; I got an antenna relay; and I got a variac for the power supply, so I'm all set to start hooking things up.

But (when it rains it pours)...I also found a complete TR-3 station with everything, including the DC supply. That'll do good mobile AM til I can get the real vintage radio going. $200

Also got a decent working scope (Phillips 15Mhz) for $35.

Hello.

Very good!
I have a pair of Yaesu transverters, one for the FT-101 and one for the FT-107, both cheap, both not working, along with a gutted FT-107 external VFO.
All this for under $50.
Since I have already built a DSS "VFO" for the FT-107 but have not mounted this in a case this is perfect.
The external VFO case is large enough that I can mount a power supply large enough to run everything but the rig proper.
Just think, soon I will be able to do all modes on 160 to 220 on a somewhat vintage rig.
Looks like we are all getting into the swing of things.
Hope to hear your mobile on the air soon.
73, KA5PIU.

Welcome to the Boat Anchor Brigade! Now you can tell the silicon sisters "all your bases are belong to us, and your mobiles too".

Darn! I had specific plans to shoot everything today...but we know what happens to "The best laid plans" (he-he he said laid :bbh: ). And I still owe you a pic of the Wouff Hong (or whatever :twisted: ) that I got last spring. I'll get right on it.
