This Ten Tec ARGO 556 was
caniballized for the modules the

BOARD. THIS IS ONE RIG which I did
make some money on!  There are
still plenty of good parts on this

but is a 6 mhz IF and cannot be
easily adapted to the 9 mhz if

something you dont see listed..just email me and I might
find it for you. HERE IS A

I have gotten some donated parts..here and there..like this dial
drum for an ATLAS 215 that a ham in USA sent me. I stash this stuff
away and I have helped out some hams who work on the older
gear. This part I would/will sell for $8 plus postage. My prices are
commonly less than 1/2 the price of ebay advertised used parts
and subassemblies for ham radio gear. I do not have an ebay
store.
A separate listing by part number of my "2N series" and
"2SC series" of TRANSISTORS has been created - I have lots
of these transistors both new and old
CLICK HERE THIS PG
I buy parts and
especially JUNKER
RADIOs to take parts
off of. Even old 2mtr
xtal controlled rigs if
the price is right.
email ve3ab@rac.ca
I keep my prices reasonable for fixing
up old rigs and receivers.

THIS FILE note: it is a 128 kb text file that is
searchable and you can import it to spread sheet or whatever format
you like. -- I will be updating it from time to time with additions.
I work in my basement shop on ham radio projects and electronics projects and I do some operating
as well. (MOSTLY..I LISTEN HOWEVER)(read the mail). I like operating the CW qrp contests.
**** my sales of components and pieces to fix radios is a hobby business. Doesnt generate any true
profit. Keeps my mind occupied and I enjoy it. Sometimes..I can buy a few shop tools or more parts or
even a new antenna with the small amounts generated. NOT FOR ANY PROFIT over and above that.
VE3AB Elliot Lake
Ontario, CANADA
(north of Michigan)
73 Earl VE3AB
I took early retirement option in 2005 and since
then..I have been doing web pages, sorting and
selling electronic parts, cataloguing electronic
parts worked at my cottage lot property, fished
and watched alot of educational shows on TV.
I live from my Civil Service Pension which pays
the bills. I moved up here to Elliot Lake in 2004
when the housing prices were low and this former
Uranium Mining town was in the transition to a
retirement community of about 12,000 residents.
If you have any questions or comments please
feel free to ask. my main email is
earlinclayton@yahoo.com and I faithfully answer
all my emails.  
I BUY ELECTRONICS ITEMS AS WELL. MOSTLY RADIO
but sometimes other things. I can fix circuit boards for $10
an hour and I do certain other repairs on small items that
can be sent in the mail.
---->> I buy broken gear as well..ie CBs ham radios mainly. I
either fix or part them out to help others fix radios.
My site is pretty well always "under construction". I work at
it in my spare time.

I have a DOMAIN NAME FOR SALE..
www.sparetime.biz ..please enquire to the email   
earlinclayton@yahoo.com
PS>>Im in Elliot Lake, On now ..not Clayton anymore!
OLDer parts..transistors, vintage capacitors, older
ICs..even old rtl and dtl..
I have to organize and catalog it (reasonably soon)
but if you email me I can look up an old part to help
you out with a restoration perhaps.
These are just some of the old parts I keep around. I buy
them ..often..at yard sales, estate sales, ham radio flea
markets. --
I BUY OLD PARTS and solid state parts from the
late 60s to about the end of the 80s vintage.
sSometimes I
get emails from people with OLDER SOLID STATE AUDIO
AMPLIFIERS and I have helped out a few of those
folks..
though..I'm mainly into AMATEUR RADIO
COMMUNICATIONS GEAR AND PARTS.
thumbnail pictures ..click on them
to ENLARGE
my PRICES will be (generally) quite
a bit lower than ebay prices. I am a
large basement shop/parts depot
and I dont have the OVERHEAD so I
can tailor make a price to slip in
"BELOW" GOING MARKET PRICES.
i I try and have a little bit of
everything..for myself (I build/fix)
and for other guys who
tinker/build..ham gear, qrp
gear..experiments..students
and
SPECIAL ATTENTION is paid to
POTENTIAL HAM RADIO OPs!!
SHIPPING..post office international AND North AMERICA...american or
canadian dollars (they are close to PAR VALUE (FEB 15-2012)--

Economy postage has been working for me..small wee orders it is fine! I
ship whatever way you want me to!!!
Thumbnail pictures of a job I am
doing for someone. It requires
desoldering of about 25 vintage
opto electronic readouts. I do a
lamp test, blanking test and basic
logic function test on them.
In this
case..I didnt charge for making a
test jig..because I already have 1
made up for the TIL series of parts
MAIL ORDER CIRCUIT CARD WORK. -- at my low shop
rate of $10 per hour..it is worth it to have it worked on
by me!

I BUY OLD PARTS..VINTAGE DISPLAYS and circuit
boards that contain these old parts. Some are highly
sought by collectors, hobbyists and people who dont
want to pay an arm and a leg for spare parts. I sell my
TIL 306s and 308s for $10 each tested!!! I am almost
sold out!! NO WONDER!!
SOME OF THE PRICES FOR
obsolete ICs and optical
readouts ..on ebay..and
else where..would/will
make you hair curl..if you
had to buy them.
Before I
took early retirement I was
working in the OBSOLETE
and life time buy of ICs and
transistors ect.
The letter E (with decimal point) is
formed by grounding one input as
per the truth table -- stuff I learned in
college. I graduated 2 year Electronic
Tech program at a community college
I am custom building test jigs as I
find I have a requirement for them.
I have built a simple but
effective Bipolar Junction
Transistor Tester.

I can match up transistors
by DC characteristics. I
dont charge anything more
than a dollar or two extra
to match up some
transistors you purchase
from me..
IE qrp finals
AND/OR 100 watt driver
transistors. I dont have
hardly any larger signal
transistors (YET)

Electronics devices with parts I have for sale

QRP RADIO repairs/service/parts ..(no complex
alignments that require sweep generator-- Im working
on that).

I can tackle things I have experience with..ie tracing
circuitry to undo mods or revisit mods and component
level trouble shooting. My $10 per hour shop fee
makes it worthwhile..see pictures
opposite(thumbnails) or visit my current project Feb
2012..going over an old Argonuat 505 with a fine tooth
comb.
 LINK TO MY 505 PROJECT
I work on older solid state rigs..of a simpler format..ie argonauts,
ft301, radio kits ect. I also can do board level repairs or rework or
lifting valuable components off boards.

My $10 per hour shop fee makes it worth while to send in the
mail up here for me to do.

I also travel Elliot Lake to Ottawa and Elliot Lake to Sault and can
pick up items.

I buy broken rigs and gear and electronics for parts and to work
on. I am trying to gain experience with alignments.
