info needed on wireless bits

cletrac (RIP) · #1 28-11-09, 01:30

I've got a few wireless bits that I need info on. There's a crystal calibrator and an alignment test set CTS-3. Are they for use with the 19 set and how are they used?

The calibrator #10 is for the WS62. A manual for it can be found here:

The CTS-3/PRC is used for the CPRC26. I haven't seen any docs for it.

I might as well post this pic of the 19 set stuff that I've gathered up.

Give you $20.00 + shipping for the calibrator and the test set.

I bid on a bunch of 19 set stuff from the person selling on Bruce's post but there's somebody who restores old Jeeps that keeps outbidding me. He bids in the last 15 seconds and always gets top bid. I think he just bids like $100 on anything 19 set and pays whatever. I thought I was bidding more than stuff is worth but he obviously doesn't think so. The woman selling the stuff says she has lots more too.
Here's a screen shot of some of the sales. What do you guys think of the prices?

Here's a fairly complete 19 set on ebay. I bid on it but it'll go for more than I want to pay so you guys can have at it. I would have just needed the carrier and one of the remote controls and a few cables anyway.

They actually look not bad. I've seen much of this stuff go for higher prices. It's not like the old days when this equipment was cheap as it was only the hams and experimenters that bought it. We now have to compete with mil vehicle restorers and re-enactors with bottomless pockets.

If you're talking about the gal who's selling off Terry Grogan's estate, I don't restore Jeeps but I have availed myself of this opportunity to greatly enhance my collection of 19 set paraphenalia which now stands at two MKII sets and one MKIII, all near complete. I've waited a long time for some of this stuff to show up on ebay and if I have to pay an extra few hundred dollars to insure I win what I need, well it beats the heck out waiting another 3-4 years.

Sorry, Derek.
