I hope not - even as a curiosity - I'd think $15 would be a premium for that. Last one I bought (admittedly 30 years ago) was for $1.40 (twenty cents a pound from the Defense Department scrap yard on Guam). Couldn't find a 1H5 real quick - so I stuffed a transistor in place of it - ran off of 9V just fine. Still never found anything practical to do with it - finally just tossed it when we moved back to CONUS. best regards... -- randy guttery A Tender Tale - a page dedicated to those Ships and Crews so vital to the United States Silent Service: http://tendertale.com |

You'll notice, though, that I did not say that *** I *** would give $15 for it - I wouldn't have a use for it either. g Dale H.

Dale, you might be interested that there will
be two groups of GenRad papers on the block at the Charlotte Conference. One has I think 2 GenRad catalogs and some other papers, and the other has several GenRad "Experimitters" I think was the name on them. All in nearly mint condition.

I'll look for those at the auction. Yes, it is "General Radio Experimenter" - their monthly newsletter published monthly from mid-1926 to mid-1972 to promote newly introduced instruments and to demonstrate applications for their instruments. I have a solid block of several years from the 1930s, but spotty coverage of the rest of the years. Even if the Experimenters and catalogs are dupes of what I have they are still worth bidding on for trading with other collectors. As a collector of old radios and old instruments, Charlotte is one of the two events that I try to attend every year, the other being Shelby. Unfortunately I had to miss both in 2004, but should be able to make both this year. Dale H.
