Military Radios for show and tell LOOKING FOR DONATIONS QSY back to the KØIP home page
Wanted any military radios, mostly interested in WW2 equipment,
however any vintage is great ..
This old stuff is lurking in many basements, and garages , setting there
waiting to spring back to life,
to spark some young persons interest in Radio or History.
Hi I'm KØIP, I've been licensed for a long time, and back when I was in high
school, I was in MARS.
In the olden days MARS give members tons of old radios, I got my share, and fell
in love with this old
equipment. Sorry to say in 1974 when I got out of the USAF, I went home to my
parents house, and sold
(a bad decision) most of my stuff. Lots of great collectables gone
forever.
Now some 45 years later, I am trying to make complete working sets, I
still have a ways to go.
I like to show off this equipment. here's a recent picture of me and some
equipment at the local airport.
click the picture to make it bigger

again, I like to show it off to the public, and I need more equipment, that's
where you might come into the picture,
If you have any of these old radios laying around, I
would like to know about it. I might buy some of them,
however, I don't have unlimited funds, so I'm really looking for donations.
If you are in northwest usa or KS, NE, CO, WY, UT
area, I might pay the shipping and packing expenses, if your equipment is
something I need or is in excellent condition.
call or email,
208-251-6441 or jcwilson((at))ida.net
I am looking for any military radios, strange communications equipment, teletype equipment, below are
pictures of a few types of equipment..
my interest is not limited to what you see below ,,
sometimes, little plugs, racks the radios set on, and other
parts and pieces are more important than complete radios,
PLEASE
don't put any history in the dumpster.
sell it , give it away, but don't through it away.. !!!
IF you think its junk check with me !!

NOTE: the little box on the lower part of the
receiver, its unmodified, something to look for |
