I have for sale a Globe HG-303 novice transmitter and matching V-10 VFO
(circa 1961). These are somewhat unusual items. Both are in very good
condition and working. No manuals. $150 plus UPS shipping from zip

Hi Jim, I would like to know if you still the HG-303 and Vfo ?



Hi...well...it's now at the far end of 2019....I bought a 303 and V-10 separately from USA about a year ago. Not run up yet but will be.I don't quite see these as the same 'store ham' sets like Kenwood ICOM (Yaesu no mention!! LOL!) They have nostalgia, a personality....I'll use the Tx alone on Xtal for CW and perhaps the VFO on some AM such as JOTA.I worked Wales at 4/6 on 7W input
a few years ago and really no longer desire 'flash' equipment...Would be nice at my home to be allowed to put up an antenna and not have to hide it!!


Pleased to hear from anyone with this gear....whether Australia or anywhere else. Of course I wonder if many are still out there...somehow I think not but they were the prettiest of Globe's gear if not the most powerful...and they were not that but work with what we have eh....Power is not everything and I have no mania for it.

I'd be interested in serial numbers also

My Regards
