There are photos of it in the "slide rule museum" here http://www.sliderulemuseum.com/Pickett.htm This is a very nice specimen - there are a couple of splashes of India Ink on it, but it isn't all trashed like many this old - the cursor assembly is missing, as you can see in the picture. This is a very early version of this slide rule. see this site for excellent information on these rules http://www.sphere.bc.ca/test/ke-sliderule.html $10 |

Ansafone model KH-90CD, made by ANSONICS international Corp, in El Segundo, CA. also has a tag on it for "Ansaphone of LA" 1667 Beverly Blvd. Notice the three minute continuous loop tape cartridge for recording the incoming messages, and the serpentine loop for the outgoing message (the tape on that loop is broken, needs to be spliced). I put the amplifier board on top in the interior picture so you can see what it looks like, notice the style of transistor so typical of these early Japanese units. This is a very heavy unit with a nice paint job, very good physical condition. 8 inches wide, 12 inches deep, 5 inches high. The phone sat on top of the unit. see here http://www.phonetel.com/html/hashimoto.html for some history on this device and its inventor. This is the first commercially available answering machine in the USA - prior to that, only a service was available, not a device for purchase. $75, or make me an interesting offer. |

This is what I think is a heated rock for a lizard or
snake or some other basking pet. I'm not much of an expert on these things so I'm selling it AS IS. It looks to be in good condition - the coloration is green and brown, like a moss covered piece of bark. It is curved like a piece of bark so there is an interior part that I suppose an animal might crawl under. I measured the resistance at 2,000 ohms, which means that it is about 7 watts, but when I read up on these things, some use thermistors to hold a constant temperature, so the wattage may be different. Approximate dimensions are 6.5X7 inches and about 4 inches "thick" due to the curvature - the actual thickness of the item is about 1 inch. I plugged it in and it gets slightly warm, which is what I would expect. |

This is a new (but old, so I suppose NOS) Uni-Directional

This is the original owners
manual for an Electrolux Model R canister vacuum cleaner, sold from 1959
to 1963 - I listed the vacuum
itself a year or so ago for a friend, and he just found this manual.
There is a small tear in the cover, otherwise, I would say this manual
is perfect. The original sales slip, dated 1961 is stapled to the
manual also.

Sharp model FXC-12 transistor radio - repair or parts - I believe the radio itself and the clock are OK, it's a mechanical wind-up clock that worked when I wound it up after taking this picture - the radio has no speaker or whip antenna, circuit board looks good, knobs and dial are good - I have been saving this for a long time and I am out of space - so here is your chance. The case is a hard plastic, the radio uses 6 volts - the battery holder is also missing. I am guessing that the radio worked when I put it away or I would not have saved it, but this particular radio is very much AS IS - I've set a low price because I hate to throw it away - someone out there must want one of these for their collection or to repair one that they already have. the back of the radio has a twist to open circular cover that reveals the clock back - it's a regular alarm clock (with a RRRIIINNNNGGG) that has a couple of contacts added to turn the radio on also. An interesting piece, but I'm out of room. Aprox dimensions 7 inches X 4 inches X 2 inches thick |

| Olive colored box, 5.5 X 4,
X 3 inches that is marked "K&K Transistor Tester, Kierulff
& Co, Los Angeles, Calif." - it has a pot calibrated 1 to 10, a
speaker, a PNP/off/NPN slide switch, an RCA jack marked "audio
test" a three screw terminal (so you can attach wires and aligator
clips to test other transistors), and a TO-3 and top hat type transistor
sockets - inside, it has a pair of those aluminum battery holders (c
cells), a transformer, speaker and some discretes wired point to point -
clearly it's not very new, I'm guessing at the age.
There is a brief history of Kierulff here http://www.audioheritage.org/html/perspectives/kierulff.htm but I couldn't find anything on the web mentioning that they ever made a transistor tester. They were a major force in early Hi-Fi and Stereo in Los Angeles, maybe this is a very rare piece - condition is actually pretty good, no corrosion or visible damage inside - I didn't test it, I have a more modern device for testing transistors. I was going to add this to my collection of "cool stuff", but I tripped over one too many things, so I'm going to quit adding for a while. Here's your chance to have this wonderful thing. $15 |

The P10 delivers Plantronics famous sound quality and ease of use. Its volume and automatic gain controls let you adjust incoming calls to a listening level that's comfortable for you.

NOS 1932-36 Ford V8 piston set 3 1/16" flat, .063 overFor the life of me, I can't remember how I got these - complete set of pistons, rings, wrist pins, etc for 32-36 Ford V8 - Montgomery Wards brand. The instruction sheet shown in the picture is dated 1945 if I am reading the code at the bottom of the sheet correctly. pistons are stamped 063, so I presume they are 63 thousands over, I haven't taken a micrometer to check - they are certainly unused - I took one piston and some rings out of the box so you could see in the photo, also you can see the old style address label. The rings are marked that they are 065 over. I found these by taking out stuff that I had stored inside my 36 cadillac since I am getting to where I can now work on the inside - they must have come from a neighbor or something a very long time ago. The box was mailed to a lady in "Mamoroneck NY 2" - These may be worth saving for display if you collect old Ford stuff, they certainly qualify at least as being NOS. So, from my garage to yours - $55 OBO |

| This is a tape recorder motor - as you can
see in the photo, it is clearly dated 5 1956. I don't find any
other markings suggesting brand, I'm speculating that it is for a Revere
(or maybe Wollensak) machine - it looks like what I remember for those
machines, but I could be wrong.
It has an aluminum 4 bladed fan, a steel drive wheel that looks like it accommodated both a belt and a wheel (for the capstan and the take-up reel, presumably. It has cloth covered wire (green/yellow) connected to an old style 2 pin plug. The unit would hang from a chassis with the drive wheel protruding through a hole, with belts and wheels on top. The rubber grommets are nice and flexible. I've tested it by connecting to 115VAC and it runs well (although a little oil on the bearings after 50 years would make it happier) and appears to have lots of life left in it. $25 or best offer |
