[AMRadio] Price 20V
Have a possible opportunity to aquire a 20V transmitter. It's in pieces, but supposedly all the pieces are there. Any thoughts as to a low and high price for the transmitter? 73, Barrie, W7ALW
Re: [AMRadio] Price 20V
Hi Barrie, Earlier this year a friend of mine bought a 20V-2 for I think it was around $1200.00 He had to travel from Northwestern Il. to St. Louis to retrieve it. If yours is a 20V that means it is probably the lower power version than the -2. Being in pieces may be an advantage as it maybe easier to deal with using fewer people. I guess my considerations would be how close it is to you. How many pieces it's in? Is the cabinet totally taken apart? If all the tubes and meters are there. Also if you could get pictures of it to make sure it isn't a rust bucket full of mice nests. If you want to acquaint yourself with the 20V series of transmitters to know more of what you are looking at the manuals for the 20V, 20V-2 and 20V-3 are available for download on the Collins Collectors Association website: http://www.collinsradio.org/html/manuals.html They are down towards the bottom of the page. I also would be happy to take pictures of my 20V-2 that I hauled from North Wilkesboro, N.C. back to the Peoria Illinois area a few years ago. I would also be glad to answer any other questions that you may have. 73 Larry WA9VRH - Original Message - From: Barrie Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Discussion of AM Radio amradio@mailman.qth.net Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2005 2:52 PM Subject: [AMRadio] Price 20V Have a possible opportunity to aquire a 20V transmitter.

Depending on condition Free to 500 would be the best deal. Lots of work to convert. Great project, heavy and, of course, the Collins name. - Original Message - From: Bob Maser [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Discussion of AM Radio amradio@mailman.qth.net Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2005 6:14 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Price 20V Free to $2000 - Original Message - From: Barrie Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Discussion of AM Radio amradio@mailman.qth.net Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2005 3:52 PM Subject: [AMRadio] Price 20V Have a possible opportunity to aquire a 20V transmitter.

Re: [AMRadio] Price 20V
I'm still looking for a dummy load. I found a 2500W load in Dayton and the price was right but it was really beat up so I passed on it. I got all of the heavy iron painted and looking good. Gary, you should see the inductors I found at Dayton. 7 diameter coil with 1/4 spacing, edge wound silver plated. One is 32 uH and the other one is 64 uH. They came out of a hi power Gates broadcast transmitter. Truly humungo. The pair for $30 plus $38 to ship it back via UPS. I think I am going to use the 32 coil in my 3CX3000 amp and add 160M. I am absolutely sure that there will be no arcs or other noises (maybe from the neighbors though). The 64 coil I plan to use on my HiTower look-a-like to get it on 160 in a L configuration. The coils are so nice I won't have to clean them up.
