What's amazing is the morons that respond to this, but that's YOUR purpose in life I guess.

Hey Bret, Could you lay off the swearing? I hear enough of it during the day, which I have no control over and I don't appreciate reading it at this tube hobby group. It's uncalled for. If you look in your dictionary, there are many, many other words you can use to express anger, surprise, bewilderment, etc. Expand your vocabulary!

Do you count yourself as TROLLED? PWN3D?

Please don't get him started.

Bratwig just loves attention, *any* attention.

I'm sorry I offended anyone. My point was that this one ollie has bought EVERY ONE of these things on eBay in over a year. He junks them out for the transformers. I'm disappointed in my fellow Americans at not driving the price into the stratosphere like they should because our country is being bought out from under us.

somehow me thinks that you just want to buy some of them for a pricetag thats cheaper than the going market price. Apparently your pocket isn't deep enough to get one... therefore suggest that you consider spending your time earning some $$ Money $$ instead of whining to the newsgroups about your lack of funds...

Or perhaps spend your time looking in places other than FleaBay like Hamfests and such.... perhaps the price there would be a little better?

Bret, it would make much more sense for your posts to inform us what you are talking about, rather than just posting the text from the auction.

If you want us to know that one person is buying all these for a particular reason, then that is what you need to say. If this "ollie" is paying the top dollar for them, and apparently he must be if he is winning them all, then he is free to do what he wants with them. Maybe you should learn to mind your own business, and quit trying to stir up others with matters that only seem to concern you. If you think the American people should pay more than what these are worth just to keep them from "ollie", go ahead and spend your own money on them. Go ahead, fill your basement with them. But please stop cross-posting these delusional reports in such a non-sensical way. I don't think anyone in the antique radio group cares about your crusades. And apparently you are the only one who considers that this is a political issue, worthy of your paranoid rantings. No need to blame all Americans for not thinking the way you do. We have enough nuts like you around as it is.

So what is wrong with him buying them all and "junking them out"? They are apparently not useful as they are and so don't command a high price. If they are somehow such a great bargain at the current price, why don't you buy them up and resell them to the "ollie"? Why would any right thinking American want one of these "Woo Woos" in the first place?

Regards,

John Byrns

I'd guess that you do not care much for George Carlin?

Whatever it is this is the auction on e-bay

This is actually an intelligent question. In the 70s and 80s the Japanese, primarily then, bought up ALL of the extant WE theater gear. Usually at very low prices to the American sellers. Now there are none of these left, but at least most are still in good condition if you want to go to Japan to see one. Now these WE boxes are being parted out and trashed for some transformers which are not terribly good, but the orientals-now mostly Koreans and politically connected mainland Chinese-fetishize them. The trend of all our old stuff going over there for peanuts isn't good.

The WE 19C is a dedicated telco box that is useful today for.....well, admittedly not a lot. It is a heterodyne oscillator that has such colossal phase noise that you can hear it do weird things to small line fluctuations right through, usually, its own caps, which are noisy as many were made between 1946 and 1961. It's one of the few pieces of test equipment that is built electrically with series heater string and "hot chassis", except the chassis itself isn't. An isolated bus bar provides rail voltages.

An interesting telco collectible because most all of them went through rework and have many interesting variations. The same one has either a front lid or rack ears. The power cord may be run out front or the side, either a fixed cord or a socket, but never a socket on the front. Most were made with the WE center swing "speedometer" meter but some like this last one had more conventional meter movements.

The heterodyne oscillator is described in works like Williams et al as a crude stopgap but Mr. Dick Pierce has informed us, thanks to my ranting, the concept has a great advantage in frequency-swept work and was made in highly stable form by Bruel and Kjaer and others.

I actually own two of these now. What's amazing is that though both were filthy and had a lot of oxidation inside I took a chance and plugged both straight in to the outlet. Both worked flawlessly. In contrast I own three HP tube audio oscillators in lunchbox cases, and while all three work I had to do a fair amount of renovation on all three.

You have to be joking. Around here hamfest price is usually at or above ebay pricing.

What, are we libertarians? We are not libertarians yet, and you may tell that to your followers.

While *you* junk out trannies out of perfectly good ST70s for your silly geetah amp projects. And bragging about it at every opportunity you get.

You may now resume your daily dumpster diving. Happy hunting!

Except that I don't. In fact I NEVER junked out ST70s for guitar amps because as I have repeatedly said the ST70 transformer is a poor choice for that purpose. In fact i've put in other transformers into Sunn amps, which used Dyna iron from the factory, specifically because of that.

Also, old ST70s are no longer cost effective for parts use. As I have also said.

I HAVE junked out Scotts and Fishers which were landfill bound anyway, for guitar amp use. Again, no longer cost effective.

Then your pocket just isn't deep enough to be in there playing the game... go elsewhere and whine! John k9uwa
