UNBUILT Graymark 510 vintage vacuum 5 tube AM radio receiver electronic kit set

This was a working Graymark 510 radio, that we disassembled back to its original kit form. The parts were carefully removed, and all terminals, lugs and components are clean, and free of excess solder. In addition to the original components that were salvageable, the kit comes with a COMPLETE set of NOS (New Old Stock) resistors, a COMPLETE new capacitor set, set of new tube sockets, and new hookup wire! You are building the kit with a new set of parts, just like the original! The resistors are ALL vintage carbon composition types, tested to be in spec. The ceramic capacitors are vintage parts with long leads. The RF front-end ceramic capacitors have been replaced with superior polystyrene types. Finally, we are including two high voltage electrolytic capacitors, to replace the original dual power supply filter capacitor, if it becomes necessary. This is as close as you can get to an original unbuilt kit! The box is not original. It is a generic box, and we have pasted a color reproduction on one side. It makes a nice display piece. The color reproduction duplicates flaws in the original, but it is still a nice looking retro graphic! The plastic case is in very good condition for its age. It has several scratches, but is in better condition than you would expect, from a previously built kit this age. A small piece is missing on one of the bottom rails, but is barely noticeable. One of the metal inserts in the back of the case, to hold that back cover on is missing, but this is a minor issue. The metal chassis is shiny and clean. Comes with JPEG scans of the assembly manual on a CD-R. The original line cord was damaged. It is included, and we have included a suitable replacement also. It is assumed that the unit(s) will be installed and operated by qualified personnel. Not for sale to minors. Check out our other listings for more radio and electronic kits. This photo is a better representation of the case color. COMPLETE NEW set of resistors, capacitors, tube sockets and wire!

Parts are used from each of these kits to complete the final NRI kit–the 80 meter transmitter. The NRI kit ID numbers are 4CC, 5CC, 6CC and 7CC. The original NRI manuals, in some cases with fold-out wiring diagrams and schematics, are included with each of these kits. Each manual has the detailed wiring instructions. Pic 1 shows all 4 kits in their original mailing boxes. Pix 2 shows kit 4CC. The parts probably were originally on a sheet of cardboard sealed with plastic. But the parts have been removed and the original cardboard with plastic is gone. But I think all the original 4CC parts are there–all the critical parts for the 80M transmitter are definitely there including the chassis, power transformer and so on. Pic 3 shows page 1 of the 4CC manual. Pic 4 shows the parts for kit 5CC. The meter has come loose of the plastic, but is still in its’ original packaging. The boxes at center holding the transformers are opened but the original parts are still in them. Pic 5 shows page 1 of the 5CC manual. Pic 6 shows the parts for kit 6CC, all still sealed in their original cardboard and plastic. Pic 7 shows page 1 of the 6CC manual. Pix 8, 9, 10 and 12 shows the parts for kit 7CC, all still sealed in their original cardboard and plastic. Pic 12 highlights the brand new blue chassis cover for the transmitter. Pic 11 shows page 1 of he 7CC manual, showing a picture of the completed 80 meter transmitter without the blue cover. So if you recall how NRI did things, one set of lessons and experiments built on the last. So for example, the chassis for the transmitter was introduced in kit 4CC with a group of experiments that led up to the final transmitter construction in kit 7CC. I think the entire transmitter kit is here, across the 4 original NRI kits. Since the parts have been dismounted from the cardboard on kit 4CC, it is hard to tell if all the original resistors and caps are here. If so, you may have to supply those. But most of the transmitter is in 7CC and all the 6CC and 7CC parts are still sealed. 5CC is sealed EXCEPT for the loose meter and open transformer boxes. I made certain that all the significant original parts for the 80 meter transmitter are here–chassis, power transformer, meter, tubes, the other transformers, coils, controls, mounting brackets, etc. Check my other auctions too.
