Note on Item 5: This IC3200A receives and transmits but has a defective display.  It can still be used however because it is equipped with the accessory digitalker board.  Each time a frequency is changed, a robotic voice announces the new frequency.  Not a bad deal for a creative ham!  Microphone is missing but they are available. Has manual.

Notes on Item 25: White nylon zip ties, (not Uv resistant)  Panduit brand in value pak boxes. Box includes a well used tension tool for production application. Sizes from 3" (2 boxes of 1,000, one unopened) to  10".  Partial box of stainless steel band ties 50 count +/-.    Value at least $50 retail, make offer for the lot.

Notes on Antennas, Items 26 through 29:  Item 26-These are new-in the box units.  They have a NMO mount, plated whip support and 1/4 wave whip.  They are tuned by the mfgr to 450 mHz but will tune down easily.  Good quarter wave roof-top mobile antenna. $5 each.

Item 27:  Mostly NMO style mounts.  One new Larson dual band 2 meters and 440 mHz.  Still in the bag with all the parts. $10.  One used Larson same as the new one but without the base gasket and wrench. $5.  Two each Larson UHF-only mobile antennas.  Look similar to the dual band units but shorter base coil.  Both tested ok. $5 each.  Two each fender mount "disguise" 2-meter antennas.  Good condition but peculiar resonance. (the analyzer doesn't like them) $2 each.  One Midland 30-35 mHz unit with NMO base. $1.  One KulRod for 2-meters.  Coax has been cut off at 6 feet. $2.  One commercial base station antenna for 2-meters.  119" long, all aluminum or stainless parts. Resonates at 148 mHz but will tune anywhere in the 2-meter band.  Nice repeater antenna. $20

Item 28: 5-element UHF Yagi.  Rough condition but it can be cleaned up and tuned up. $5

Item 29: One Isopole for 440 mHz.  Analyzer says it's defective.  You feel lucky? $2. Nice condition otherwise.

Item 30: Motorola RRA base station antenna for 2-meters.  Still in the box. 1:1 SWR anywhere you want it in the 2-meter band. $10.

 NOTE! These are going to the swap meet on May 1st and not coming back.  If you want one, act now!

Notes on Item 31: This tuner does not come with a manual.  Not much of the original Heathkit tuner remains but the design is solid and the components are first class.  This tuner is built in a Pi network configuration and operation is very simple and straight forward.  Both variable capacitors are kilowatt rated and made by E.F.Johnson.  The antenna-side capacitor is 150 pF and the transmitter-side capacitor is a 250 pF unit.  The inductor is a 36 turn roller coil made by James Millen and wound on a 2 inch ceramic form.  The roller coil is driven by a Millen turn-counter.  All three components are controlled by stainless shafts and flexible insulated couplings.  The most interesting twist is the way the builder brought out the built-in SWR meter to the front panel.  A conventional SWR bridge (thousands were made for CB rigs in the 70's) is mounted to the back panel so that the UHF connector extends out for connection to the transmitter.  The other connector of the bridge is wired to the transmitter side capacitor.  The original meter was removed and a small terminal strip was mounted in it's place.  The terminal strip is then wired out to a small meter on the front panel.  Two small switches and a pilot lamp have been added to aid in tuning.  See the photos below.

Notes on 32: This is a nine-drawer cabinet with many coax adaptors and connectors.  The adaptors are mostly BNC and N with a few UHF.  About 60+ in several configurations.  The connectors are mostly BNC and TNC, both wrench and crip with a few N types.  Most are new in the bag.  About 50 BNC/TNC the rest are N.

Notes on Item 33. This is a 60 foot, 3 section winch up, tilt over.  The winch is motorized.  The tower comes with a CDE tail twister rotor, 10 foot mast and thrust bearing.  It also includes a 5 element Yagi as yet unidentified.  Looks a lot like a TH5-MKII but the traps have exposed coils.  See photos if you can identify it.

The tower base is simply (3) 1-1/8" j-bolts embedded in a big concrete block.  The tower mounts to the bolts exactly like a traffic signal or metal street light pole.  We need to saw off the base mounting bolts when we take it down as they are embedded in a 5' x 5' x 5' block of concrete.  New mounting bolts may be available if not they can be fabricated:  4' J-bolts, 1-1/8" diameter should do the trick.  3 required.  Photos below.  See in Napa, photos available upon request.
