Scarey stuff being unearthed as I unpack boxes

Post by WeatherWatcher »

Finding all sorts of stuff I forgot I had as I am going through boxes.
Revco roll up 2m antenna with BNC plug.
2m power amplifier - model P-335, know nothing about it but BNC fly lead to RF in ,SO239 output socket.
Small 2m atu (not 100% sure ) but 2 knobs on front and BNC x2 on back.
Lots of patch leads
BNC plug still in original sealed packet suitable for H100 cable or similar.
External speaker (Parma) 12W with switch for filter(built in)

More to come but stopping for a break

Looking through stuff like that only becomes really scary when you pull out an item you haven't seen for 30 years and say to yourself 'why on Earth did I buy that?'

Slight update, 2m Amplifier has 25W power transistor in it.
Definite on little box with knobs - is a VHF Atu probably quite low power with a label CQ VHF ATU circa early 90's
Also found gutter mount cable with SO230 socket that was probably used with my 2m 5/8 whip. Just need a mount for it .
137Mhz WX sat receiver and turnstile antenna. needs to interface to PC sound card and WXToming software.
Cavity Wave-meter good for 70cms to 23cms min.

That's it for today - now have chronic back ache.

I was in my loft looking for an old Cb valve amp when I opened a box and there was my old Desk mike.It still had the old battery in it....The expiry date on the battery was NOV 1988. It had leaked a bit but managed to clean up the contacts.
If the problen cant be sorted with a "LUMP-HAMMER" then its most likely to be an Electrical fault

Oh yes, the unpacking boxes thing.
I opened a box in the cellar, and found 6 Cobbra 148s and a Shimizu 105.
