Antique and Collectible Electronics
From My Pack Rat Collection
I have many years worth of old and/or odd electronics. Most are for sale, as is or restored. I also have tons of antique and NOS tubes and parts for older sets. Over the next few months I will be inventorying these items and posting the information here.
Here's some sample pictures:
RCA 9T246 and Hoffman EZ Vision 10" with special yellow-green glass filter, probably both pre-50's
RCA 9T246 picture, no cabinet
Zenith Transoceanic multiband radio, 40's-early 50's
Zenith Royal 3000 Transoceanic (solid state, 60's) with original logbook
Just a teaser, there's several antique console radios and a couple very rare RCA cassette recorders from about 1961. Not what you think, these cassettes are 4 times the size of the current ones.
More old test equipment, a 1954 Hoffman color TV, a couple Quasar "works in the drawer" sets, TRS80, Sinclair/Timex and Commodore computers,
and I think there's a 1963 Motorola color set in there, notable because it was the first large rectangular picture tube after years of 21" round ones.
Watch this page for more pictures! Oh yeah, old stereos, phonos, 8-tracks too!
Here's a real oddity, an oscilloscope based on a TV-size 17" picture tube, with magnetic deflection! Slightly lacking in bandwidth, I'd say.
A couple more shots of the monsterscope, just fired it up after almost 15 years. Still works!!(?!?)
This whole mess is the reason I dug the scope out. Below it is a biiiig variable DC supply based on an old commercial slot car power unit, and a 220 volt 15 amp variac with a correspondingly large isolation transformer. Very handy these days...
