Someone keeps throwing out all this junk! -another haul

[Opcom]

It always saddens me when an old gent passes away and the widow has to deal with the estate. in this case she has a family friend, but she does not want to take any money for this stuff. She just wants it gone from the South Fort Worth home's driveway, and as frail as she is, the family minivan begins to fill with scraps.. I did advise her to separate the wires, and if possible cut off the ends, to get max value. Yes, it is all going to the scrap yard. A horror. I am probably 4 or 5 in line, so what I got I got, but there is more in the garage, mixed in with 'family items' and only the previously mentioned family friend is allowed to peruse. The gentleman, of whom I do not know even the name, was a ham, but more along my line, a devout experimenter. He was an engineer and she said he kept many stations on the air.

Here is an account of what I was given and some general pictures.  
May the Gentleman rest in peace and God bless his wife.

Panoramic TTG-1 two-tone generator
 Each tone can be selected for 0.7, 1.1, 1.5, or 1.9 KC

BC-901A Transmitter
 Looks like a power supply and maybe modulator, I did not see any tuned circuits.

PE-103A power supply for?
 Runs on 6V or 12V, seems complete with high current leads.
update: it is for the SCR-284 that consisted of the BC-654 and associated support equipment. The other option is a hand-cranked generator.

Plus: a Stromberg-Carlson amp with a pair of 811's and 866's (model AP-54 never seen that kind before and can't believe the previous person left it, but I would seek a mate for it!), a 6.5FT old style Bud rack, the shallow and very old cabinet type with not so many holes in the integral rails, a approx. 2ft bud rack with some gear in it for parts, a small tilted console type rack with casters, a 10" round CRT out of an old and completely trashed TV set, a bunch of those little Raytheon "CK" style tubes, some loktals, a document box full of transformers, some sem worth hauling off. separately a 110-220 V step-up transformer rated 1KVA, a 350mA 10H 2500V choke, some rack panels, a box of time delay relays, 0.5 sec to 5 minutes, h/p 460BR wideband amp, which make decent preamps, and assorted other stuff. The pics also show things I did not take. Van was full. Back still hurts. I am not 20 any more!

and

The Geiger has a cable and a special tube, still intact. Can't wait..

The little rack is really two tone gray.

and

The Kenyon transformers piece is for 'low B+' rather than the 1-2KV range. The socket is probably a MV fullwave or a 5Z3 or the like. It would be good for oldie style repro!

(two of the T-30 transmiters..)

here is an interesting UHF receiver? - -military aircraft AM band. Can anyone ID this? It has no tag.  Looks like it allows a crystal or continuous tuning.

All Ive seen is dumpster trash, 40-50 years ago Id have taken it home to strip.

That last item is a USN URR-35 or one of its predecessors. The 35 is 200-400mc AM, there is also a VHF version, maybe the URR-23, dont remember but there are mil sites on the internet with all the photos.

Like the gray rack. A lot of Ampex 300 and 350 series had homes in similar racks back in the 'good ol' days'. I ended up with six of those racks about 20 years ago when I got to haul off an Ampex 300 duplicating string (master and 5 slaves) from a religious broadcaster that was upgrading. Two or three of them sold and the rest made the trip to the scrap yard. Not much call for 'em anymore.

The URC-35 is a fairly useless radio, insensitive and only covers military 220 to 400 aircraft band. I have bought two or three at ham fest for no more than $10 or so because they have a real nice power transformer, filter choke and lots of other parts and when building internal or external power supplies for old military radios they come in real handy, lots of useful hardware can be taken from the set too. Almost all that stuff looks like it would be great for striping and supplying parts for other projects. The radar unit is especially appealing to me. If you have the space, and that’s always the hard part because it does not matter how much space you have it always fills up there is nothing better than having your own electronics junk yard.

I got mixed up a tad, thought there were 2 diffrent radios.

They are either a URR-13 or URR-35, have to look inside or at the manual to tell the difference. Worked on both as well as the VHF ones in the USN.

The 35 is great to grab the 2nd conversion IF cans for a HB receiver using those for the first conversion.

The military receiver may be fun as there are a couple of air bases in the area.
I have "modern" ss 20W FAA transceivers for both the UHF and VHF bands, but I prefer not to leave them on frivolously. This old one, I could let it run. OK yes it could be a 13 or 35 according to http://www.navy-radio.com/rcvr-uhf.htm. It should be a good "energy saver" upgrade from the URR-9, but the 9 here does have the selectable bandwidth I.F. feature.

I did pick it all up for parts save one or two items. There is a wealth of smallish old early 40's iron. Panel meters are always good and it is hard to find matching ones.

update -the receiveris the -13. It's useless, someone stole "Z1" out of it, whatever that is.
