Pictures from Dayton Hamvention 2016
I was only able to attend the event on Saturday. I had great time talking to many OMs and was happy to meet Nick Tusa (K5EF) and get some advices on restoring my Central Electronics 200V.

I've got the Ht-32B in the middle. I have an extra cabinet so it is perfect. I will see how accurate the 1 kc calibrated VFO is. The one on my SX-115 is very accurate.

More Rangers
![](http://k9sul.fayoly.net/dayton16/img9715.jpg)
The legendary Eico 753. The note says "the TX is off frequency" and probably it should say "drifts like crazy". A few years ago three 753 lot was for sale for $45 and didn't sell fopr quite a while.

Hallicrafters SX-133. Single conversion, just like SX-99 and SX-110. But it has a product detector.
![](http://k9sul.fayoly.net/dayton16/img9717.jpg)
Miss of the day. Drake L-75. I turned around and it was gone.
![](http://k9sul.fayoly.net/dayton16/img9718.jpg)
Lot's of goodies. Cinch connectors.
![](http://k9sul.fayoly.net/dayton16/img9719.jpg)
Expensive Mil Zenith radios. Many over $1k.
![](http://k9sul.fayoly.net/dayton16/img9720.jpg)
Drake TC-6 and TC-2. You buy this and the CC-1 above then you are set.

Amp Supply LA-1000-NT for $350. DX-60 with a missing knob and S-38 with a bunch of missing knobs.
![](http://k9sul.fayoly.net/dayton16/img9722.jpg)
Hallicrafters R-274/FRR. The mil version of SX-73. $400 was reasonable, but some knobs were not original and the unit was modified a bit (for one, a product detector added). Also being the mil version, it lacked the cabinet.
![](http://k9sul.fayoly.net/dayton16/img9723.jpg)
Central Electronics 20A and a modified BC-458 VFO.
![](http://k9sul.fayoly.net/dayton16/img9724.jpg)

Hammarlund HQ-145 $140. Not bad.

Another Ranger $300.

KW matchbox. This is still one of the best manual tuner, especially when you run a balanced transmission line. The KW version is relatively rare.
