user: You are replying to All about "Need Info--Pearce-Simpson gear".

Write your reply.

assistant: I'm thinking about selling a C. 1968 Pearce-Simpson model Newport-D
LW/MW/Marine receiver/beacon-finder, and would like some information on
it.  The unit covers: "Beacons," lw 150-400KHz; "Broadcast," MW
535-1605KHz; and "Marine," MW 1600-3990KHz.  It has a top-mounted
ferrite bar antenna and a long telescopic whip antenna.  THe ferrite bar
can be turned manually or rotate with a motor to fine LW beacons.  The
unit runs on 8 C-cell batteries or external 12-volt power source through
a 3-pin connector.  It also has Side-band/BFO capabilities that work on
all three bands.  The label reads "Newport-D" and "Pearce-Simpson,
Division of Gladding Corporation."  Serial number is01810068.  Made in
Japan.  It's in a sturdy metal case about 11-11-6 inches, counting the
rotating ferrite bar antenna.  Does anybody know what this would have
sold for new, whether circuit diagrams or manuals might be available at
a reasonable price, and what the market might be now for such a beast?
It is clean as a whistle, works great on all bands, (really hot AM), and
even sounds fairly good through its side-facing internal speaker.  It
looks like it's never been on a boat other than the one that brought it
over here from Japan.
Please respond in this conferrence, or, preferrably via E-mail, to
brent.reynolds@swsbbs.com or call any time 404-814-0768.
Thanks.

control head, connecting cables, all mounting brackets, PL board,
wide band board and noise blanker board.  This radio is 80 channels
with scan and PL and is 100 Watts (currently adjusted for about 80

50.9 to 52.9 Mhz and get all of the FM simplex & repeater
frequencies programmed into the radio.  The radio
is a rugged, high quality commercial radio and it can be programmed
at any commercial radio shop that services Midland radios.
Shops typically charge around $25.00-$35.00 to program these
radios.  Price is $275.00 unprogrammed, or $310.00 programmed (you
supply me with a list of frequencies and PL's) plus shipping costs.
To purchase, leave me a message here, call or send private Internet Email.
