Anyone got some ceramic feedthroughs they can toss me? 1/2" hole. Wifey broke all the bottoms save one, all the tops are ok. Maybe someone gots some bottoms and no tops?

need 4 matching, 3 for the back apron of the chassis, one for the deck. All the hardware is ok.

install them, wire with new cloth HV wire, spiff 50 year old solder connections & nut/bolt/washers, get 810 tubes and 45 volt bias battery. Big modulator deck done. oh yah, install line to grid transformer in place of useless 2.5volt transformer. then done.  Roll Eyes

oh...cut new meter hole in front to allow for installation of huge 4" munky swinging 0~500 ma meter. then done. I think.

Will these do Derb?

These fit a 3/8" hole and I've managed to find two. I think I have some more around here somewhere but it may take me a bit to find them.

They're yours if you can use them.

I'll look around some more and see if I can find two more of these in the next day or two and ship them off.

The QRZ address correct?

I found the mutha load!

Why is it that the bottoms get broken? I've got plenty of spare tops, but no extra bottoms. Huh



I used to use these to feed antenna wire through aircraft skins and then up to the tail and out to the wing for temporary HF radio installations for aircraft delivery. 200 mph insulators!  Shocked

They're HH Smith 9542  (Now Abbatron/HH Smith)

4 of them and a couple of spare tops are headed your way!

Glad I could help, Derb!

I wish I'd bought some of the bigger Greenlee punches back when they were reasonable, they're out of sight now!

I've got the common conduit sizes and a few others, but none of the big ones for meters, transformers and stuff like that.

I got 4 coming...... biggest one a 2 1/4" which I think is the correct size for 813/HK257B sockets....

2 1/2" is the size for 4/400 sockets i think... need to score 1 of them.
