McIntosh 1” Soft Dome Tweeters

 

 

New McIntosh 1” Dome Tweeter

This soft fabric dome tweeter is made by Philips and is similar to the round Philips AD 0141HE-T8 but was custom made for McIntosh. This allows closer spacing of the tweeters when used in multiples for column systems. The black plastic front plate has a phasing disc in the center that smoothes the response, improves directionality and also protects the dome from being damaged. A recessed area near the bottom is for an aluminum silk-screened decal with the McIntosh name in gold lettering and is not included. Response is very smooth from 1500 Hz to 20,000Hz. Dispersion is excellent out to about 45 degrees off axis. The tweeter is 3-11/16" X 3-1/8" and 1" deep. Impedance is 8-ohms. Weight is 262 grams or about 9.2 ounces. It was used in the McIntosh XRT-18 and XR290 speaker systems.

McIntosh Posters for Sale

 

Tony Frontera was hired as the McIntosh photographer. In addition to making photographs of McIntosh equipment for manuals and literature, Tony created a series of 21 outstanding color posters featuring various pieces of McIntosh equipment. He won several awards. The posters are all 24" wide and 36" high and suitable for framing. They are printed using a high-quality four-color process. The posters were printed only in small quantities of about 500 and were available only to dealers. They were discontinued in the late 1980's. These may have a slight wrinkle or small tear but are too minor to show in the picture.

Heathkit-Mitchell Fotoval/Colorval II Darkroom Computer

Model PM-18 darkroom computer plus optional color probe, Includes assembly and owners manuals. I am the original owner. The computer is very easy to calibrate with your enlarger. Several removable plastic inserts are included to write on when using different enlarging lenses. Once that is done, all you need to do is set the probe at the brightest part of the projected negative and adjust the lens f-stop to the full scale dot on the meter. Then place the probe at the darkest part and read the recommended contrast paper to use. That’s all there is to it. No more trial and error guesses. I made thousands of prints using this and it was a great time saver. When the probe is lifted from its holder, a dim meter light comes on so you can read the values. Was working fine the last time I used it but sold as is due to age. I am including the color probe (shown at the left in the picture) for the computer but I have never used it. An explanation for how to use this is in the manual. The manuals cover both Fotoval and Colorval functions of the computer.

Old Ohaus Gram Scale

This scientific scale can weigh up to 610 grams (21.5 ounces) and is accurate to 1/10th of a gram. Ohaus still makes the same scale and you can still purchase additional weights (not included) to extend the weighing range to 2610 grams (92.2 ounces) and there are two hangers provided for them. Ohaus number 80780108 Wt Set, Metric Attachment Mass. Page at www.ohaus.com

There are two sliders for 0 to 500 and 0 to 100 grams that are detented plus one for 0 to 10 grams that is continuously adjustable. The scale is from the 1950s and that makes it more than 50 years old but it still works fine. The surface is slightly pitted from age.

Vivitar VI Color Enlarger

 

Vivitar VI color enlarger and accssories. The enlarger originally sold for $450 with the color head. Of the several enlargers I have owned, this is the best of them all. It is very easy to use and is good for color work as well as black & white including variable contrast paper. The exclusive “light Pipe” concept ensures excellent color mixing. The photo shows the side panel open and the color filters adjusted for one of the variable contrast settings. I have made some excellent prints with this equipment.

The enlarger includes the following:

Color enlarger including color head
Associated power supply
Original literature
Original owner’s manual
50mm f4.0 El-Nikkor lens
80mm f5,6 El-Nikkor lens
100mm f5,6 Schneider Componon-S lens (originally $316 from Zone VI Studios)
35mm mounted slide holder
35mm negative holder
2-1/4 negative holder
Single lamp holder(not needed with color head)

I am the original owner and all of the items have had very little use. This will make a great setup for someone who wants to get into quality darkroom work and yet not spend a lot. Sorry, I have no safe way to pack the enlarger and associated equipment. This is for local pickup in the Central Florida area. Individual pieces will not be sold separately.

Haddon Special Vision

 

 

There's no identification at all on this clock, not even a date. It has a shiny 24K gold plated finish. On the face, numbers indicate the hours of 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock and tapered rectangles indicate the remaining hours. These may have been screened on with gold paint on the back of the glass.

A synchronous motor is located in the base. The glass remains stationary and the motor drives a large gear in the outer ring of the clock. A hook attached to the minute hand engages the teeth in the gear. This drives the minute hand, which then drives the hour hand through gears at the center of the dial.

To set the time, the minute hand can only be turned clockwise. When setting the time, the entire outer ring turns as well as the output gear on the motor gearbox. A ratchet in the gearbox allows the gear to be turned only in the clockwise direction. The minute hand may need to be turned several times to set the correct hour and minutes.

 

 

 

 

There is a light in the base and a switch for it at the back. There is an opening in the rear of the base 1-13/16" wide by 5/16" high. A second opening is in the cardboard bottom cover that is 1-5/8" by 1/4". The light can shine above and below the clock so that it can be seen at night. The clock tells time but I have not timed it for accuracy. The light does not work. There are a few blemishes here and there. Sold as-is.

The clock face is 7-3/4" in diameter at the outside. The overall dimensions are 9-3/8" high, 7-3/4" wide and 5-1/8" deep including a switch handle. Weight is 2.34 lbs.

 

The Special Vision was advertised in the Bennett Brothers, Inc. catalog in 1961 shown at the left. It was described as "Special Vision 'See thru' Mystery Glass Dial and 24k gold plated metal case.
