anton67 Posted May 31, 2013 #1 Posted May 31, 2013 Hi, I have an opportunity to purchase these radios and this flag. I am a helmet guy and know little about radios. Can you tell me anything about them? Are they WWII? What should I look for? He says the one is Kellog and rare. Also, how much are these items going for?
anton67 Posted May 31, 2013 Author #5 Posted May 31, 2013 He wants $20 for each EE8 and $30 for the BC1335A. He said make an offer on the flag.
anton67 Posted June 1, 2013 Author #6 Posted June 1, 2013 Picked up the EE8s, the BC1335A and an unopened pancho for $100. Cleaned them up and 3 of 4 actually work.
capa Posted June 2, 2013 #7 Posted June 2, 2013 Sorry I got to this late-the EE-8s are really robust and you can most always get them working. As you found out. You got a steal on them if you paid $20 for the leather cased ones. I have one, canvas cased, and need a leather one. What's not working on the 4th one (i.e. the ringer)? Maybe I can help you figure it out.
anton67 Posted June 2, 2013 Author #8 Posted June 2, 2013 Thanks for the input. What do they generally go for? No the ringer is OK. The hand held mouth/earpiece does not work. Only two wires connect to the device as opposed to the others which connect with a blk, red & white wire. It is a shame because it is a Kellogg. I got the other 3 to work. They can communicate with each other and I can even hook them to my home phone line.
anton67 Posted June 2, 2013 Author #9 Posted June 2, 2013 Here are better pics. First the one that does not work
anton67 Posted June 2, 2013 Author #16 Posted June 2, 2013 Last pic of this one. It has the full leather strap too.
anton67 Posted June 2, 2013 Author #17 Posted June 2, 2013 Next is a 143 Leather cased - missing strap.
anton67 Posted June 2, 2013 Author #21 Posted June 2, 2013 Last one is a 1944 cloth cased. It has the strap to it.
