| DX Postage Adjustment (more info) | $12.00 | |
The minimum rate for International First Class postage is $13+. Since my website only calculates US Postage on parts orders, if you live OUTSIDE the US and want parts shipped to you, an adjustment for DX postage MUST accompany your order. This item is simply a $12 adjustment to the calculated US postage to get your order shipped by International First Class mail to any DX location.
I am sorry to have to do this but I have taken a hit on DX postage for quite some time now but the recent elimination of the lowest rate for International First Class Mail has jacked up the cost of shipping DX orders drastically!

| Genuine James Millen FT-243 crystal sockets NOT! (more info) | $4.00 | |
Recently, I have moved my entire QRPme operation from a rented space uptown to my Quonset hut here at the farm. As a result of my having a bunch of friends help pack & move, in a frenzy, I have not seen the Millen sockets since the move. I have now run out of the sockets in my kitting jar. I had to come up with something for the FDIM Acorn Tube 2 transmitter kit, so I designed a nice Deldin block the same size as the Millen socket. I took a large batch of 1950 wafer style octal sockets apart and harvested the tube pin sockets. I designed the W1REX Super Xtal Socket to fit the pins perfectly. It fits in the same mounting configuration and holds the FT-243 crystals much better than the Millen sockets. I find the Millen sockets, while nice & retro, to be quite wiggly.
I am offering them at half the price of the Millen sockets. Until I find the box of Millen sockets this is the only thing I can sell....
I have TEMPORARILY REACHED THE END of my limited supply of genuine James Millen ceramic FT-243 crystal sockets.
Through a family connection, I have obtained almost the entire existing stock of original Millen parts. I have LOTS of other stuff but the main item of interest to QRPers is the FT-243 sockets. I am rationing them to the QRP community with a strict limit of 2 sockets per customer.
These are NOT dusty and dirty old stock but BRAND NEW nice & clean sockets with SILVER plated beryllium copper contacts made like they used to be because they are genuine Millen made.
I wanted these sockets for a couple of QRPme projects but the results of my quest far exceeded my expectations! So I will offer some of my stash to fellow QRPers who cherish the real deal when it comes to parts like these.
I will TURN THE SPIGOT BACK ON whenever I find my missing box of sockets..... |
| 7.015Mhz FT243 quartz crystal blank (more info) | $10.00 | |
This is a factory FRESH FT-243 quartz crystal blank, AT cut, lapped for 7.015Mhz. It is a .5 x.6 inch rectangular blank just waiting for a grinding session to bring it up to some special place in the 40m band. Surplus FT-243 crystal holders come with one of 3 styles of blanks inside: .5 inch square, .5 x.6 inch rectangular and .5 inch round. I believe that the rectangular blanks are the most common. This crystal blank is the PERFECT starting point when grinding a crystal by hand for the 40m band....
I searched long and hard to find a manufacturer WILLING to travel back in time to supply me with these blanks and believe QRPme is the ONLY ENTITY SILLY ENOUGH to actually spend money to stock a blank crystal suitable for re-crystaling FT-243 holders.

The X-CHECKer BASE track is a pair of 1.5" relay track brackets cut to fit the X-CHECKer Crystal Oscillator/Frequency Counter kit featured in the FDIM 2017 Buildathon. The X-CHECKer board is designed to snap right into the 2 grooves in the track. No tools necessary to install the kit into the track but you should have a wooden base to attach the track to.
A piece of this same track is included in the Crystal Grinding Accessory pack so don\\\'t order it is you are buying an accessory pack....
