Cardwell variable condensers, 250 or 350 pf. They look like the picture below except fewer plates; 11 plates total for the 250 pf and 15 plates for the 350 pf. Note: Poor picture; the insulating strips on the side are black.
Thordarson R196 choke, as shown below
1920s type power supply filter condensers, 800 volt or greater rating, anything from 1 uf (mfd) and up. These were rectangular boxes made of sheet metal, square corners. Most had paper labels with names like Faradon, Wireless Specialty Apparatus Co., Dubilier, and others. If in doubt, send picture. Here is picture of a smaller one (1 mf, 650V)
1920s small filter condensers and bypass condensers. I am interested in ones around 1 or 2 mfd. These are smaller, lower voltage versions of the above. Here is a picture of a few
Sangamo mica condenser, like the one pictured here but .0005 mfd
Grid leak clips for the above style Sangamo mica condenser. Here is a set of them
Jewell panel meter, pattern 54, 0-1000 volts DC.
Jewell panel meter, pattern 54, any range from 50 to 500 mA DC.
Jewell panel meter, pattern 64, any range from 500 mA to 2.5 amps RF
Look similar to the meter shown below, except slightly larger and the scale of course. Note the unique pointer style.
Weston panel meter, model 425, metal case, any range from 500 mA to 2.5 amps RF
