This Ranger looks to be in fair cosmetic condition. The facepate is original and looks good. The cabinet has plenty of scuffs/scratches and has also been painted black. All controls feel good and turn smoothly. Inside, we can see that someone installed a solid-state rectifier device. Also, there are some modern capacitors under the chassis. Lastly, the power cord has been replaced with a new unit with fuses in-line. The sale includes a reproduction of the user manual. With the exception of equipment that’s known to be operational, we’ve made the decision to sell these old “boat anchors” 100% as-is and untested. There are a few reasons for this, but it essentially comes down to the fact that they almost always need some level of service and it’s simply not cost effective to pay our technician to spend time going through them. It may or may not need components replaced (caps, resistors, tubes, etc), controls cleaned/lubricated, alignment, and so on. Unless you are qualified and capable of working on this unit yourself, or are willing to pay a qualified individual to do the work for you, we suggest you revisit the idea of whether this is the right equipment for you. This item will be packaged using our InstaPak foam-in-bag system, ensuring the utmost protection! Bags filled with a chemical mixture expand around your item and harden to form a protective, yet forgiving, foam barrier. IMPORTANT : You will only receive what is photographed. If it is not shown in the photos, it is not included in the sale. This includes items such as original packaging, accessories, manuals, and so on. Speaking of manuals, it is strongly recommended that you thoroughly read it before attempting to operate the equipment. If a manual is not included in this sale, you should download one. We’re here to help! We will not declare a lower value on the item’s documentation.

This Ranger looks to be in fair cosmetic condition. The facepate is original and looks good. The cabinet has plenty of scuffs/scratches but still has the original paint. All controls feel good and turn smoothly. If you look at the photos, you’ll see that it’s missing the smaller screws which join chassis and cabinet. It still has the three larger screws that go across the entire transmitter. Inside, we can see that it’s been modified, but we really don’t have any idea as to what the modifier was trying to do. There are some modern capacitors under the chassis. With the exception of equipment that’s known to be operational, we’ve made the decision to sell these old “boat anchors” 100% as-is and untested.

This is a good looking Valiant. The paint is original and looks good for it’s age with the expected scratches and scuffs on the cabinet. The faceplate looks good. All controls feel good and turn smoothly. It does appear that someone has replaced some capacitors under the chassis and added some fuses. I’m not an expert on these, but other than the fuses being added, I don’t see any significant modifications. The power cord appears to be relatively new. The 3B28 tubes have been removed from their sockets to ensure they don’t fall out during transit. The sale also includes a reproduction of the operating manual.

This old transmitter was found in storage. I’m not an expert on these, so I cannot tell if it’s been modified or not. Please review the photos carefully as they can probably describe the unit better than I can. The power cable was badly dried and cracking, so to be safe we cut if off to prevent someone plugging it in and electrocuting themselves. This unit is believed to have not been used in many years, likely decades, and with this in mind we have made no attempt to power-on this unit or test in any way. Unless you are qualified and capable of working on this unit yourself, or are willing to pay a qualified individual to do the work for you, we suggest you revisit the idea of whether this is the right equipment for you.

Reproduction Knight Broadcaster kit. This listing has multiple photos, scroll down to see them all. Dual voltage 115 / 230 VAC power transformer, for domestic and foreign use. Kit does not include vacuum tubes, see text below. A revision has also been done to the kit, incorporating the improvements below. Side panels are now fabricated from the same high quality fiberglass PC board material, as the top, front and back panels. These are more rigid parts, and a better color match to the other panels. Pre-drilled side and bottom plates, no hole drilling necessary. Improved rear panel AC layout and easier wiring. Kit now includes a BONUS audio input board! The Knight Broadcaster was meant to be used with low level microphone inputs. High level signals will distort the output, unless the input is attenuated. To ease this problem, as well as improve connectivity to audio sources, we have designed an accessory input control board. The kit includes a small 2-3/8 x 2-3/8 PC board (same blue color), to allow easy connection of bare wire, RCA, or 3.5mm jack inputs! The board also features a potentiometer level control, AND isolation transformer, if you experience hum problems. See new photos near the end of the listing. This is a reproduction kit of the Knight Broadcaster – Amplifier. Easily connect a high level input from an iPod, MP3 player, stereo, etc. The kit also functions as an audio PA (Public Address) style amplifier, and has connections you can hook up a loudspeaker too. The kit is electrical equivalent to the original, with several minor changes. Our design includes a brand new, high quality, Triad isolation transformer. Transformer has a dual 115/230 volt primary, for domestic and foreign use. Appropriate changes has been made for mounting the transformer on the back, and for internal wiring. We have replaced the selenium rectifier with a modern diode. The kit comes with a prewound oscillator coil. As shown in the internal wiring photo, modern filter capacitors, smaller rectifier diode and oscillator coil, give easier and increased assembly and working room! To keeps costs as low as possible, the kit does NOT come with tubes. The circuit uses common tubes you may already have. The remaining tube is a 12AX7, probably the most common preamplifier tube in the world. We have gone to great effort, time and expense to acquire vintage style components , like those used in the original design. As shown in the parts photos, the kit currently uses vintage parts, including carbon composition resistors (may be vintage or modern manufacture), phenolic wafer tube sockets, vintage terminal strips, and a vintage compression tuner capacitor. As time progresses on, these parts become harder and harder to find, and at some point may be replaced with modern equivalents. Until otherwise noted, the kit will come with the vintage parts just mentioned. The prototype in the photos used a couple carbon film resistors, but kits will come with all carbon composition resistors, with the exception of several safety metal oxide resistors where applicable. The kit now uses black oxide screws to assemble the panels, instead of the costly blue screws shown in the photos. Style of output transformer may vary. NOTE: This kit requires good electrical and mechanical building skills, and is recommended for advanced builders. Some mechanical modifications are required, such as cutting the metal potentiometer shaft to the correct length, enlarging the tube sockets holes, etc. The kit is constructed with individual fiberglass panels for the top, front, back and sides. These are fiberglass printed circuit boards, with high durability lettering. The bottom panel is an acrylic or similar plastic material, it’s color may vary or be clear. The parts are connected by plastic brackets and screws, as you can see in the internal view photo. The original manual and addendum assembly notes are supplied as JPG and RTF files on a CD-R respectively. Note we do not supply copies of manuals. The kit is only for sale people with experience building and operated line powered devices. The kit must be operated under FCC Part 15 regulations at all times. This unit must only be operated with the supplied line isolation transformer. Not for sale to, or use by minors. It is assumed that the unit(s) will be installed and operated by qualified personnel. See our other listings for more Radio, Electronic and other RARE and UNIQUE items. NOTE : The flat and reflective surfaces cause some reflections in the photos. Vertical’lines’ on the front panel are reflections from the corrugated cardboard the unit was photographed on. As shown in above photo, kit does not come with vacuum tubes, see listing description. With fiberglass panels and stainless steel hardware, your kit will look good for many years! Kit now features black oxide panel connecting screws, not blue screws shown in photos. Modern filter capacitors, rectifier diode and smaller coil, give increased working room. Kit now uses PC mount RCA jacks, see text. Brand new in box isolation transformer. D ual 115 – 230 volt primary. CD-R with original manual scans, and addendum assembly file. Accessory input control board now included with kit. Board can easily mount to panels if desired, see above and below photos. See our other listings, for our much lower cost, miniature tube transmitter. For people interested in Heathkit projects, see our reproduction CR-1 crystal radio kits (standard and low cost versions), and our EXCLUSIVE PC board kits in the photo below.

This old Heathkit is in pretty good cosmetic condition. The cabinet is in good shape with relatively minimal wear (one small dent on top, see photo), and the faceplate looks great. From what we can tell, it’s all original with no modifications. Two things to note. First, the band switch is very stiff and feels like it will need attention. Secondly, we had to cut the power cord off, as it was badly frayed and not safe to use as it was. All in all, this will make an excellent candidate for restoration!

This old transmitter is in fair cosmetic condition. The faceplate looks great (aside from the dust), but the cabinet has several scuffs/scratches and paint flaking on the edges. Inside, it is complete and appears unmodified. The band switch is very stiff, but otherwise all controls turn smoothly. This will make an excellent candidate for restoration!

Reproduction Knight Broadcaster kit. This listing has multiple photos, scroll down to see them all. Dual voltage 115 / 230 VAC power transformer, for domestic and foreign use. Kit does not include vacuum tubes, see text below. A revision has also been done to the kit, incorporating the improvements below. Side panels are now fabricated from the same high quality fiberglass PC board material, as the top, front and back panels. These are more rigid parts, and a better color match to the other panels. Pre-drilled side and bottom plates, no hole drilling necessary. Improved rear panel AC layout and easier wiring. Kit now includes a BONUS audio input board! The Knight Broadcaster was meant to be used with low level microphone inputs. High level signals will distort the output, unless the input is attenuated. To ease this problem, as well as improve connectivity to audio sources, we have designed an accessory input control board. The kit includes a small 2-3/8 x 2-3/8 PC board (same blue color), to allow easy connection of bare wire, RCA, or 3.5mm jack inputs! The board also features a potentiometer level control, AND isolation transformer, if you experience hum problems. See new photos near the end of the listing. This is a reproduction kit of the Knight Broadcaster – Amplifier. The kit also functions as an audio PA (Public Address) style amplifier, and has connections you can hook up a loudspeaker too. The kit is electrical equivalent to the original, with several minor changes. Our design includes a brand new, high quality, Triad isolation transformer. Transformer has a dual 115/230 volt primary, for domestic and foreign use. Appropriate changes has been made for mounting the transformer on the back, and for internal wiring. We have replaced the selenium rectifier with a modern diode. The kit comes with a prewound oscillator coil. As shown in the internal wiring photo, modern filter capacitors, smaller rectifier diode and oscillator coil, give easier and increased assembly and working room! To keeps costs as low as possible, the kit does NOT come with tubes. The circuit uses common tubes you may already have. The remaining tube is a 12AX7, probably the most common preamplifier tube in the world. We have gone to great effort, time and expense to acquire vintage style components , like those used in the original design. As shown in the parts photos, the kit currently uses vintage parts, including carbon composition resistors (may be vintage or modern manufacture), phenolic wafer tube sockets, vintage terminal strips, and a vintage compression tuner capacitor. As time progresses on, these parts become harder and harder to find, and at some point may be replaced with modern equivalents. Until otherwise noted, the kit will come with the vintage parts just mentioned. The prototype in the photos used a couple carbon film resistors, but kits will come with al carbon composition resistors, with the exception of several safety metal oxide resistors where applicable. The kit now uses black oxide screws to assemble the panels, instead of the costly blue screws shown in the photos. Style of output transformer may vary. NOTE: This kit requires good electrical and mechanical building skills, and is recommended for advanced builders. Some mechanical modifications are required, such as cutting the metal potentiometer shaft to the correct length, enlarging the tube sockets holes, etc. The kit is constructed with individual fiberglass panels for the top, front, back and sides. These are fiberglass printed circuit boards, with high durability lettering. The bottom panel is an acrylic or similar plastic material, it’s color may vary or be clear. The parts are connected by plastic brackets and screws, as you can see in the internal view photo. The original manual and addendum assembly notes are supplied as JPG and RTF files on a CD-R respectively. Note we do not supply copies of manuals. The kit is only for sale people with experience building and operated line powered devices. The kit must be operated under FCC Part 15 regulations at all times. This unit must only be operated with the supplied line isolation transformer. Not for sale to, or use by minors. It is assumed that the unit(s) will be installed and operated by qualified personnel. See our other listings for more Radio, Electronic and other RARE and UNIQUE items. NOTE : The flat and reflective surfaces cause some reflections in the photos. Vertical’lines’ on the front panel are reflections from the corrugated cardboard the unit was photographed on. As shown in above photo, kit does not come with vacuum tubes, see listing description. With fiberglass panels and stainless steel hardware, your kit will look good for many years! Kit now features black oxide panel connecting screws, not blue screws shown in photos. Modern filter capacitors, rectifier diode and smaller coil, give increased working room. Kit now uses PC mount RCA jacks, see text. Brand new in box isolation transformer. D ual 115 – 230 volt primary. CD-R with original manual scans, and addendum assembly file. Accessory input control board now included with kit. Board can easily mount to panels if desired, see above and below photos. See our other listings, for our much lower cost, miniature tube transmitter.
