FS...Cleaning out the shop

[electra225]

I have a number of items surplus to my needs. Per the rules, I'll post a price, but don't let that stop you. If you need any of these items, we can make a deal.

*I have a number of 3" speaker cones, gaskets and voice coils that are for the in-dash GM speakers of the 1970's. I used one of the kits to recone the speaker in my Heathkit signal tracer, so there are other uses. $10 for all plus shipping.

* Brand new Radio Shack 4X10 speakers. Four available. $20 for all four plus shipping.

*Shure Brothers "Command" microphone. On a stand like you would use on a table or desk. $10 plus the ride.

*several used speakers of all sizes from transistor radio size to 12". Lots of 6" round Toshiba speakers. Two walls of my shop are lined with used speakers.

*Tubes. LOTS of radio tubes. No TV stuff. Not a lot of "audio" tubes like 6L6 and that stuff. I have several 6V6's that are okay for radio use or for single ended amp use. Nothing matched. All used. I have several 6SN7's. LOTS of the AA5 stuff. Hundreds of 35W4, 50C5's. I saved the radio and audio stuff when I had the auction. I should have let it all go. If I can't sell this stuff and not make enemies doing it, I'll toss it. The volume is simply overwhelming and I've decided to clean house. I have thousands of tubes. I hope somebody can use them. I haven't counted them and I'm not going to make lists. Let me know what you need and we'll take it from there. I'll leave the price open on these. We'll work together and come up with something we can both live with.

* Buick tube car radios. 1950-1959. No '57-'58. These are all good radios. Some have reconed speakers. One is a '55 Selectronic (Wonderbar). Cheap. I don't want to toss them. They are heavy, so shipping will be the killer. The 1954-1956 Buick Sonomatic radios were arguably one of the best AM radios ever built. These are remnants from my restoration shop. Converting them to run on line voltage would make a dandy shop radio....

I have other stuff, including radios that I'll probably sell. Pictures available on request.

IF the Radio Shack speakers are 8 ohm, I'll take all 4,
unless someone needs a couple of them.

I believe they are 8 ohm. I'll get some pictures and verify that. Thanks for your inquiry. If they are 8 ohm, they are yours. I have a 5" and maybe a 6" as well if you would be interested in those.

I also have a couple of small buckets of fuses. I have lots of the "fractional watt" fuses like they use in TV sets. Some of these came from my stepdad's TV repair shop. He passed in 1987. I won't use all of these in several lifetimes, so I'd be willing to share. Let me know if you are interested. I can do some pictures if that will help.

Mr. Mogul, here are pictures of the speakers. They are 8 ohm.

I still have two of the 4X10's available.

It caught my eye initially because the Chevy uses a 4x10, but going by memory (always dangerous) it's a shallow speaker with a small magnet for clearance, and it also may be ca. 10 ohms to keep the output transistor happy. My manual-tuned radio is hybrid, tubes & output transistor, but the pushbutton model is all transistor. I need to take that one out and recap it because it sounds crappy.

Darn it... I really could have used those about a month ago... On mine the foam had deteriorated away so I got some new foam surrounds for them and the ones they sent were a bit too small so I had to improvise and do some cutting of the foam to make them fit... new ones would have been nice... maybe next time I will think to ask on the forum here before I try to fix old stuff myself
