Godspeed to you...

I'm lurking too

[TiN]

Lurkers everywhere.
Wish easy and fast recovery.

I think there is no need for highly detailed and photographed listings, just a table with "Item/Condition(works/sorta/dead/scrap)" would be enough, given your sale trade conditions. It would save a lot of trouble for you, and will move stuff quicker, especially if international shipping not killed.

OK then!  So it shall be.  Thanks.

I would ask that, when you reply, please put the item name in the title!  Otherwise, if you say "I'll take that", I won't have any idea what "that" is 

I will also rely on you all to estimate the shipping to make your decision.  I'll give weight and dimensions.  My two options are UPS and the Post Office.  If real shipping cost turns out to be way out of line when I actually box and pack, then you can say "no" and no hard feelings.

Thanks,
Vernon

Will you accept local pickup?  You're just a little over an hour north of me.  I actually go grocery shopping in Rindge.

Sounds like a good idea

I wish you all the best for your recovery

[Vgkid]

Hoping that you have a good recovery.

Yes, of course.

Speedy recovery, Vernon!

Hi all:

I have 6 pieces of big iron up for grabs.  (I want my garage back  )  It would be insane for me to try to ship these, so I assume I'll be parting them out.

I am going to be keeping all of the common tubes (7-pin, 9-pin, octals) to feed other parts of my hobby (antique radios and audio).  I'm not interested in holding on to specialized tubes.

• H-P 608D VHF Signal Generator: I have two of these, one in a standalone cabinet and the other rack mount.
• H-P 612A UHF Signal Generator: Rack mount
• H-P 606B HF Signal Generator: Rack mount
• Tektronix 531 scope with Type A plug-in
• Tektronix 535 scope

Thanks,
Vernon

If you were not on the other side of the country my roommate and I would drive there and pick them up. For anybody who is within 750 miles this would be a worthwhile trip.

[nbritton]

I'm trying to setup a digital electronics lab and need everything except an oscilloscope. I would prefer working equipment since I'm just getting started. I live in Austin, Texas.

I live in a small apartment so I'm going to have to pass on any of your big iron. Do you have any power supplies?

Wow, the 608D and 606B are classics. The scopes are lovely old models too. I hope a collector/restorer can pick them up intact, so they have a chance to work again.
Not my cup of tea though, since I'm short on space and *theoretically* I'm supposed to be building a lab for a specific purpose, not just old gear restoration fun.

Announcing you're going to remove most of the valves might not have been a good idea, if you want to get rid of these units. Hopefully you'd wait a while to see if anyone is interested in taking them complete?

I was going to say I'd take the lot since I'm local and can pick them up but I don't think that would be fair to everyone else.  I could give them a loving home though as we're getting ready to buy a house and I'll have the room since I've insisted on either a garage or a basement for my bits to spread out in.

On the other hand, if you take them all you'll save Vernon so much work! He's not well, you should ease his burdens.
Also, if you go round to his place and get to know him you may be able to ease even more of his excess equipment burdens.  There is such a thing as being too fair to everyone. It's been a whole day...

Coincidence: I too 'disposed of' a HP 608C VHF signal generator, and a HP 606A signal generator. http://everist.org/NobLog/20140324_HP_relics.htm

I offered to help out in any way I could actually, boxing stuff, taking photos etc.  Getting free goods is a nice benefit but since he's recovering from surgery and I'm close enough to make a day of it, I thought I would offer help which might be more useful than freeing up space.  Of course, I can't define that value to him so taking away everything in one shot might be worth more and I'll certainly do it if I can get it to fit in my Passat wagon.

All three generators are classics. I have logged a lot time using an HP-612.

[echap]

I would be interested in the H-P 606B if still available.  How much shipped to 49534?

Thanks!

Ah, yes, I was not clear on that.  If anyone wants the entire unit, then I will leave everything as it is.  As you point out, not much use without the tubes   Only if I get no takers for the entire unit will I take the tubes out.

I think we can get everything gone and out of your way quick.  If you want to ship stuff out I'd say they should get first dibs but I'll take everything off your hands in one go if you'll let me, or at least what's left that you want to get rid of.

Thanks.  I'll probably take you up on that later, but for now I still have dozens and dozens of bins and boxes to go through.  I'm posting things as I find them - it's not like I have a big pile of stuff ready to go.

Thanks,
Vernon
