My scavenging takes place at Hamfests. The Rochester NY one is taking place this weekend. Yesterday's haul included:
UTC A-19 20K:80K split interstage transformer - $US 0.50
2,000 ft #22 solid core silver plated teflon insulated wire - $US 5
All the following bought in 1 "junk" box for $10 (the guy only wanted $7):
2 Peerless 15356 600/150:600 line transformers
1 Peerless 15095A 15K:600 plate to line transformer
2 Altec 1579B RIAA Phono preamp plug-in modules
2 Mallory T600 T Pad's/ 600 ohm 4W (new in box)
2 Triad R-104A plate + filament transformers, NIB perfect for tube preamps, signal processing.
2 Stancor 16W 25V line->speaker transformers
2 Stancor 5W 25V line->speaker transformers (useful in DIY guitar amps)
--- a bunch more stuff ----
I also picked up some 2.5 uF 300V mil spec hermetically sealed polycarbonate film caps. Can't wait to try these out in various coupling applications.
1959 Sylvania technical manual (tube data, etc.) $1. Sure, I've got all that stuff on the computer, but the paper still rules for bathroom study.
