Background:
I am selling this item for a widow of a silent key and friend who recently passed away in June of 2021. He was an Electrical Engineer for a company that manufactured Broadcast Television VHF & UHF Transmitters where I worked with him for many years.
This item was located in his Electronic Workshop in a box. He took very good care of his equipment. I haven't had the opportunity to test this item, so it is being sold "AS-IS". I don't know if it works.  I performed a quick inventory of each item and took at least (2) photograph of this item and several stock photographs. If I had the finances and space, I would have purchased many of the items in his collection.
We are selling it for
LOCAL PICKUP ONLY
.
PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS ITEM UNLESS YOU ARE ABLE TO PICK IT UP IN PERSON.
We will provide a copy of the instruction manual in a 3-hole folder but we'll be more than happy to provide the original manual should we find them before pickup.
About Myself: I am an Extras Class, Amateur Radio operator, having been licensed since the late 70's.
Please check out my eBay feedback. Check back often, as I will be posting more items from his collection shortly.
