SOLD!Clean, well-functioning genuine Dow-Key antenna relay with external DPDT contacts for muting a receiver, keying an amplifier, et cetera.

Short length of zip cord is soldered to the pin contacts used to energize the relay coil with 110VAC. They have electrical tape around them for safety. Coil has also been tested using 26VDC and also pulls in nicely with this DC Voltage level (if you are uncomfortable working with "raw AC from the wall"). This DC level is written in red grease pencil on the coil housing lid where the 110VAC marking is stamped on the coil cover by Dow-Key when manufactured. If the buyer wants to re-do the connections to the coil, this can easily be done.

Black crinkle finish paint on the body of the relay is in good shape, if you're a cosmetics proponent. The little metal pry-out plug that provides cleaning access to the actual, switched antenna contacts is in-place and looks undisturbed. In other words, all looks quite nice.

External DPDT contacts are very clean. Only one pair was used to mute a receiver and these were fully cleaned of the old solder and wire. The remainder of the external contacts were never used. So, this Dow-Key is as close to being unused, and definitely "gently used" as one can get.

Use this device (which is designed to handle a full kiloWatt of RF) to create a vintage station in this 21st Century. Remember, real radios "glow in the dark".

$50 and $10 shipping. PayPal payment is preferred, and I "eat" the PayPal costs.

Tnx, es 73...
