Before you do anything with that Bird 43...buy and install an element, either a real one or a dummy (shorting) version. They don't like to be jostled around without the meter being damped electrically.

I have several slugs for it so not a problem. I don't know how the pictures came out so poor with a PHD camera. But they are what they are. damn computer has been a PIA all day too.

Does your camera have a macro setting? The Bird is worth a few bucks by itself. Too bad the slugs for HF are so damned expensive.

The B&W wattmeter/dummy load is sure rusted up, but those are really nice and useful. Also the SINNADDER is great for peaking up rigs. It analyzes the audio signal. The scope looks nice, hope U can fix it. Probably just oxidized switches.

Don't give your Bird and/or slugs away. Those are like cash.

Someone just gave me a bird the other day, but I was driving at the time.

There was probably some reflected signal he could measure from his feedpoint, I would imagine.

At least he didn't give me a slug, too.

I figured I could get you to say something like that with a little coaxing.

Nice finds. So where'd you find them?

Perhaps we can all reach common ground.

LOL. I can imagine you doing the impy dance when you get the resin ants from the solder corps.

Congrats on your inductance to the thread. It's nice to know you have the capacity to participate. Many show a reluctance to join in. Just ask Mho. We finally had to send him ohm. I really want to have sex with his mother. I just can't seem to resistor. But, I don't want to transformer into the neighborhood slut.

My new next door neighbor used to be a partner in a local 2 way radio shop and used to be a ham. He had asked me a while back if I knew anyone who might be interested. I finally caught him home this weekend. The price was fair so I jumped on it.

The B&W looks rough but works great. I started working on the scope first but I will probably have to go though most of the stuff.

At least you're learning how to focus a camera, keep practicing and eventually we'll see what we're looking at. (;->)

You're a bunch of punny guys!
"Many show a reluctance to join in. Just ask Mho. We finally had to send him ohm."
I always thought Mho was the conductance who made many join in so I had to ask him. He has no idea what you're talking about, reluctance is Farad's and his son Micro's magnetic domain.

Nice. Glad it worked out for you.

Personally, I'd pull the cover off that Astron, sand it, and then hit it with a couple of coats of black or grey Rustoleum. But I'm sure you already knew that.

Can't come back with a good one to frequency counter with. Let me go take a grid leak and I'll be back in a while.

I was planning on doing that before it takes its place in the shack. The B&W is going to get some clean up also. I was told that the Astron might not work but when powered up the only thing that did not work was the meter on the face.

It's a classic.

Watt else can I say? It's a waste of energy to counter-dict those.

Funny you should mention that. I was sent a link to an outfit that was selling digital voltmeters for a pittance. I ordered a couple, but since they're coming from VR2, I don't expect them for a few weeks yet.

I'm hoping to use one each on my RS-35, RS-12, and RS-7. If they all work & I don't blow one up, I ought to have a few extras... but let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

Do you still give your xyl a high frequency slug? I wanted to give my xyl that but I was always afraid she would turn it and I would see reflected power.

No, we don't have a slug problem in the garden. Or much of a general critter problem there in general. LucyFurr takes care of that...
