Vintage, Collectable & Misc. Items

While surfing the web I occasionally stumble upon web sites with 'Vintage Items' and see things I have stored away for future projects. But around here, such items are usually referred to by my wife as simply 'Old', 'Junk' or some other similar name she prefers to call my 'valuable items', 'goodies' and 'treasures' which are names I prefer. But regardless of the name, I decided it was time to get busy and start listing some of my older items after recently seeing similar ones listed once again on 'Wanted Items' pages.

Determining what to ask for vintage items that is fair, for both myself and buyers, is hard and experience has shown buyers seldom make an offer, but that is what you may find me asking for some items, at least for now. And offers are always welcome, whether a cost is listed, or not, and I am usually quite flexible on pricing, especially when a number of items are being purchased.

Radio Shack EC-243
Vintage Calculator

Litronix 2220 LED
Vintage Calculator

This calculator was the one given away free with a minimum $100 order of LED displays to encourage their use. 4 function calculators sold for about $100 at the time, but this one included a % function plus memory. Who could have guessed calculators like this would eventually sell for only a few dollars.

Vintage Canon P5-D and P6-D Calculators
Printing Calculators with Vacuum Fluorescent Displays

The P5-D was listed first with it's AC Adapter / Charger, Instruction Manual and 4 rolls of printer paper. When the P6-D was later found sitting all by itself, the two calculators were placed together to keep each other company as well as to share the paper supply and single AC Adapter / Charger.

Viscount Model 835
Vintage 8 Transistor Radio
with Genuine Cowhide Case

I may be wrong, but believe my grandfather bought this radio in the early 60's. It still works and is in excellent shape after decades of daily use by both my grandfather and then my father. I never listen to broadcast radio so the radio has not been used and has been taking up storage space since it was passed on to me.

This great vintage radio still works fine after nearly 50 years and will likely last 50 more.
Qty: 1$50

Vintage Pocket Radio

Do you remember
Selenium Rectifiers?

If you never tried using
one as a solar cell,
now is your chance.

without a few.

Qty: 27
Small - $4  /  Large - $6
or any 10 for $30

Check out http://antiqueradio.org/tvshow.htm found while searching to try to determine a reasonable price for my rectifiers. I find stories like this interesting about how some with no connection to the movie industry suddenly find themselves involved. And it is amazing what some try to sell obsolete items for (and wonder if they ever do) simply because they may be collectable. More than initially considered my price is still much less than the $25 – $50 others were found asking and even less then data sheets were found listed for.

What ever happened to the Internet being a place to freely share information?

knight-kit KG-275 Exposure Meter

1960's Vintage Exposure Meter from Allied Radio

Takes Incident or Reflected Light readings

Extra low light range for time exposures.

An exceptional meter. Only problem I ever had with the unit was in reading the meter by starlight when a several hour exposure was indicated. The meter has not been used in years so a fresh coin cell battery will be required.

PHILIPS PW6585 STEM

'Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope' or 'Scanning Tunnelling Electron Microscope'

I believe this is a 'Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope', but STEM is sometimes seen used for 'Scanning Tunnelling Electron Microscope' also. Email if you are knowledgeable about such items as I would appreciate knowing more about this item, where information on it, or any of its components, may be found, if it should be left intact or simply dismantled for useable components and, of course, Email if you are interested in purchasing it or any of its components. Several individuals have web sites where they describe the experience of building their own electron microscope, but this STEM unit would make the task much easier for anyone wanting to also build their own electron microscope.

Transmission Emitter?

Detectors

I was told that this is the electronic portion of a STEM system, complete with emitters & detectors, and only needs the mechanical components, like specimen chamber, vacuum pumps, etc., to work again. Perfect for someone wanting their own electron microscope who can build the mechanical portion.

I am not quite ready to sell this item as a tape needs to be copied to DVD first, however a serious offer would likely convince me to get this done and change this situation quickly.
