Mackay 600m tx, SP600 JX28, Ranger, HQ129x - NEARFEST

[Tom W2ILA]

Hello,
If there is interest Ill bring either of these to Nearfest.  I dont plan to bring them without a query.
Mackay 2017 - 40 watt reserve shipboard 600 meter transmitter.  These were crystal controlled.  $300
SP600 JX28 - a rare variant of the SP600 with the manual stating only 100 manufactured. This is s/n 68.  Oddities include no Hammarlund markings on the front panel, handles, square chassis sides like the VLF variant, dual VR tubes like the VLF variant, gold anodized chassis, no RF/AF switch provision, phenolic board point to point component wiring.  This set is unrestored / working. $1100
Ranger 1 - went through a couple of years ago and has been my 80m go-to transmitter ever since. Front panel restored by  Dees(?) Marina years ago.  Looks nice. Chernobyl resistor relocated, recapped, minor audio mods, PTT. $375
HQ129x - new front panel about 20 years ago. Looks good, plays well. $95
