| Heathkit HP-23A power supply, updated with a WB8VGE board (this is a VERY worthwhile update!). |
| Homebuilt clone of Heathkit HP-23A power supply. Uses an original Heath transformer. |
| A whole bunch of crystals for 80m and 40m CW frequencies, along with some crystal socket adaptors. |
| TELEGRAPH KEYS, BUGS, PADDLES: |
| Nye Viking "Speed-X", standard black oval base, nickel-plated hardware, with shorting lever, Christmas gift from my parents in 1977. |
| Nye Viking "Master", really NICE key, Christmas gift from my wife in 1988. |
