Broadcast and Amateur gear
According to the XYL, it is time to relocate. This presents a problem for an old packrat who lives on an acreage with several outbuildings, lots of storage. The proposed new location is much smaller without (sigh,sigh) the outbuildings so stuff has to go. Prices are very low ,most of it is free,just take it away. Bring a truck, or 2 or 3 or a semi if you can get your hands on one. I havent got the heart to put it in a dumpster especially if there are other packrats out there who want to play with it. Big stuff like:
- a Gates BC-1T
- a Raytheon RA-1000 and
- Harris 250watt early solid state FM rig
- down to various audio consoles,
- ham gear,National Hammarlund, Hallicrafters, FM repeaters like G.E. and Johnson

Nautel NV15 modules
I am looking for modules for a Nautel NV15 transmitter. Let me know what you have.
obsolete Nautel Choke
I have an aging Nautel AM ND5 up in Glennallen, AK Model Type NAR85/1. It makes full power but has developed a significant hum in the audio due to a failing Choke that feeds the power to the RF power amps. According to the ND5 manual it is called out as L1 and is Nautel part TC38 (Inductor, Choke, 0.63 mH, 125A) – roughly the size of a ½ loaf of bread. Nautel says they do not have one so the best bet would be to find one from a retired ND5. Does anyone have a ND5 that has been parted out and still has this choke? I have photos of the choke if you provide an email.
