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

Standard Electric Time Company timer, Catalog 601-600, 6RPM, Model S-10-BA, 115VAC 60 Hz, the MDAC property tag tells you it was surplussed from McDonnel Douglas Aircraft a long time ago - nice condition, works  $10

Also, not pictured, same price - ITC timer company SAR-1HR  one hour timer, has normally open and normally closed 3 prong 115VAC outlets, the time marks have worn off the front (or been washed off with solvent) - but it works perfectly - nice heavy duty unit - would be good for a process timer or dark room or for a heater or other such thing - just mark with a sharpie where the desired time is

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.

The back of the box says:

Uni-Directional Dynamic Microphone

Lightweight - designed dynamic microphone for Hi-Fi music, speech and entertainers.

Specification

  $5.00

Unopened pair of TDK Compact Mini Headphones that are supplied, as you can see, in a cassette 
case, and the headphones store in a plastic holder shaped like a cassette, with a reel to wind up the cord. 

The insert has a 1989 date, so these are now 16 years old, never opened - in fact, they may 
have collector value because of that - and anyway, cassettes are so "1980s", right?

On the back, it says the specifications are:

* Frequency response: 20-20,000 Hz
* sensitivity 85dB @ 1kHz
* Maximum input 50 mw
* Impedance 32 ohm
* driver units 13mm ferrite magnets

I bought this for my daughter in her pre-teens, it is now too small for her and I have no use for it.  
The mask is used, but fully usable.

There are some scratches on the face - these are of course invisible once you are in the water.

note - if you see lines on the image, that's an artifact of the way the browser shows the picture

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.

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.

But, I have some other strippers (see below)

Production type thermal wire stripper with a 9 position switch (off through HI) to set the 
power delivered to the stripper elements.  This was surplus from North American Aviation 
(which became North American Rockwell, then Rockwell, and now it's Boeing).  
115VAC 60 Hz, 1 Amp input.  The date tag (the white tag at the top rear) says "service only", 
Oct 17, 1977, due Jan 17, 1978.  So, one can imagine that it became surplus between those two dates.  
I've had it for a long time. I've tested it (12/2002) and it still works just fine.  
If you want it to look like new, you can unscrew 4 screws on each side, 
and then you can slide the top out and turn it up-side down to expose a nice new gray top, 
and you can swap the sides to expose the nice new gray sides.   
I kind of like it as is because it shows some history.

VINTAGE PLEWS METAL two QUART OIL CAN with POUR SPOUT

NOS 1932-36 Ford V8 piston set 3 1/16" flat, .063 over

For 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 -

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

with 110AC input, output is 0-36V 

This unit must be pretty rare, when I do an internet search the only reference I find is this site that you are on now 

Motor is from an inexpensive portable record player.  It is marked 117V, Alliance, Feb 4, '69, 300-8.  Has a second low voltage winding that powered a transistorized amplifier - I believe it's 17VAC.

Idler wheel is 2 inches in diameter, shaft is, I believe, 1/4 inch.  it has a pressed in bronze bushing.  I don't know if the idler wheel was from the same phonograph.

the cone is stamped "24/750/001" on the back.
