Heathkit Twoer, coils and coil stock, box of misc parts, a big ol variac, some 6883's, and whats left of a poor arc-5 tx that "is just an antenna tuner now."
Arcus Fivii... the one lone "transmitter" on the end appears to have 811's and an ART-13 mod transformer inside!

Here it is almost done when i had to hang it up for the day. The filaments all light (of course the tubes were in it when i tried!) up off of 12 volts, all the cap and resistor changes are done, I just need to add a key jack and resistor to the final cathodes then I'm ready to fire it up and move it down to 3.5 mc. Oh, and a BNC antenna jack...
A whole load of good parts! Variable caps, coils, NOS miniductor, tubes, etc. and some funky old ladder line of unknown heritage.

4X250b final section of commercial VHF transmitter. There was originally two locations for tubes, one was emptied and air blocked off with a piece of wood. You can barely see that the plate capacitor is two Kennedy half-dollars, dated 1968 and 1973.

This pin jack from a composition octal socket was found rattling inside the viking II. I can't see what it came from, and am labeling it a foreign object.
