Let's do some bartering!
« on: February 01, 2020, 1509 UTC »
It occurred to me recently. We all have so much electronics "junk" laying around. Please post items that you wouldn't mind parting with. Like the old saying goes 'One mans junk is an others treasure ' I see know harm in posting the items we have (Its free!) If you see something you like from another person offer up your trade. If an agreement can't be made, no harm no foul. The stuff stays on the shelf. I might want a 1983 Sears road talker and you may need a low pass filter etc. Please post your items. Even things that seem irrelevant.
I had an instance last week while trying to find a Tupperware lid to cover my dish for lunch. I would have loved to know who had that matching lid at 5:00 am!

I have a TenTec Model 1253 regenerative receiver I'd like to trade off. More details if someone is interested.

This item has been bartered! Thanks!

I've been in and out of time lately for work. I'll try to post some items when I can do an inventory. I have downsized quite a bit, so I'll have to see what I have to post. I can say I have at least four 3 amp 12 volt DC power supplies and also some Cushcraft 900 Mhz yagis. I want to say there 12 elements and still brand new.

Hmmmmmmmm... Well, I've got that Radio Shack 13.8VDC - 15A switching power supply to off. Perfect for VHF / UHF FM rigs, but I don't need it, since I use Astrons here. From an ex-co-worker, I've gotten several late 1970's 45W VHF Motorola commercial crystaled rig, as well as several late 70's, very early 80's Moto UHF HT's, that I'm still going through. Anyone interested in them for parts, or for tapping DDS oscillators into the crystal sockets to may them FREQ agile? Passing thoughts.
“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.
