Retsel Mill-Rite Grain & Seed Mill. Its internal precision ground gears operate at a whisper of sound. Possibly the quietest grain mill on the market today. Will grind essentally any combination grains or seeds smaller than 1/2 inch diameter. The grinding heads will disengage when left unattended or when all grain is used up. This machine is pre-lubricated and designed for years of trouble-free operation with minimum of maintenance required. With just a turn of the adjustment knob, the milling grade is completely adjustable from fine flour to course cereal. The self cleaning stones or steel wheels produce 1 to 1.5 cups of fine flour per minute. Coarse grinding is much faster. A standard 3-quart seed hopper is included. Steel, powdercoated manual handle for hand included and can be used in the event of a power outage or in remote locations. This model comes with both stone and stainless steel grinding heads. Stainless steel grinding wheels will grind many grains or seeds that will either plug up the stones or otherwise will not grind sucessfully using conventional high speed mills. Stainless steel wheels will effectively grind small nuts, berries, soybeans, field corn (not popcorn) and many other difficult to grind grains. Gearing is built into the mill to reduce the 1725RPM motor speed to 43RPM millstone speed. The proven technique of a slow turning milling stone was used for many centuries. Along came the principle of grinding the grain with the use of pressure between two stones, crushing and pulverizing the grain as it was fed between and through the milling chamber. Back then a different type of flour was obtained from this milling process than in today's high tech processing plants. Prior of the modern processing age, the skin or bran of the grain along with the rest of the kernel, came out of the mill in a fake-type flour, being flat like a leaf. (In high-speed mills, these small particles are in the form of chunks or more likely dust.) The flake type flour is very "soft" to the feel, and when moisture is applied it absorbs completely and very rapidly. It also came apparent that lower temperature in the milling chamber, which is due to less speed and friction compared to the high speed ground flours is also very beneficial to the overall makeup of the whole wheat flour. Finally, a perfect stone face alignment is also an absolute must on all mills to get a adjustable fine flour of your choice. This mill was purchased about 20 years ago and used occasionally for 3 or 4 years. It has been in storage since. This particular mill model came with no motor, enabling it to be powered by other means than an electric motor, such as bicycle pedal chain drive for use where there is no electricity. We added the 1/2HP, 115/230 volt continuous-duty thermally protected motor. (The current Mill-Rite comes with a 1/4HP motor.) Pictures: Pic1, Pic2, Pic3, Pic4, Pic5

Some of this stuff below is practical to mail -

Sort-of Tools:

Electronics: (things I CAN ship!)

• Old, tube model short wave radios. Have about a dozen - if you're interested in the hobby, I made a list.
• Mechanical Filters: I acquired a Collins Mechanical Filter, although I don't remember when. It's a model F455FA-21 SSB filter, as was used in the 75S3, 75S3-B and 75S-C receivers, the 32S series transmitters, and in the KWM2 transceiver. Its bandwidth is 2.1kHz @ 6 db. and 5.3kHz @ 60 db. However, I don't have any need for one with that bandwidth, but I'd REALLY like to have one with a bandwidth for AM reception. Something in the 4 to 6 or 7 kHz. range would be ideal. So I'm hoping to find someone who would like to swap! (I don't want to sell it, I just want to trade for a different one.)
• Heathkit, Eico, and Accurate Instruments tube testers. Pictures will be available, and model numbers. See Thumbnails page.
• Assorted signal generators, audio and radio. Heath, Eico and others. Sweep and fixed frequency (for RF). Heathkit IG-52 Television Alignment Signal Generator with manual), SG-8 AM RF signal generator 160 kHz to 110 mHz (with printed copy of downloaded scanned manual), and more! Make offers! Pictures will be available, and model numbers. See Thumbnails page.
• Heathkit AA-1 Audio Analyzer (Intermodulation distortion meter) and Heathkit IM-58 Harmonic Distortion Analyzer (which I built from the kit in 1973). Make offers! See Thumbnails page.
• PRM-10 military grid dip oscillator in steel case, with all coils and copy of manual.

Old Computers:

• Apple II+ clone (NOT made by Apple, it's marked SYSCOM-II) with Mitac disk drive, printer interface, two-joystick interface, several programming and interfacing books. Make offer.
• Interact home computer, almost from before disk drives. Has built-in cassette drive. In original box, with some program tapes. Make offer.
• Timex Sinclair ZX-81 in box, also 3 or 4 16K RAM modules and some program tapes. Make offer.
• Radio Shack Color Computer 4-pen color plotter in original box. Spare printhead assembly included. Make offer. See Thumbnails page.
• HP 7580A full size plotter. Eight pen carousel, takes paper up to 24 by 36 inches. On floor stand with casters, serial cable and spare black pens; price $100.

 Car Parts/Car Stuff:

• None currently.

Miscellaneous:

• Motor Home: 1979 Tioga 24 foot. Sleeps 5 now, with an upper bunk missing, originally slept 6. It has 79,000 miles and a Dodge 440 V-8. Cruise control, AM/FM/CB radio with 8-track player. Cab air conditioner doesn't work - we didn't need it on our 7,000 mile trip to the west coast last fall, so we haven't checked for the source of the problem. The Coach roof air conditioner works, though. Also has a working water heater, toilet, shower, stove and oven and furnace with thermostat and blower. The furnace kept us warm up there 10,000 feet above sea level in Yellowstone park, although I did put some foam insulation in the windows in the cab-over section. It got pretty chilly on the side of me that was next to the window and away from the heated room. There is a space for a generator, but none is installed. The original refrigerator is gone, too, so we used an electric cooler like an ice chest. There is an electronic panel with readouts for battery charge condition and levels in the fresh, gray and black water storage tanks. The tires are good and we put on a complete new exhaust system. It's an oldie and it got us around just fine.. It does need some roof and framing work, though. An old roof leak caused some rot in the roof framing in the portion above the cab. I'll gladly let it go for only $500 or best offer.
• File cabinet, 4 drawers, heavy duty office model. Great for workshop catalog storage, magazines, plans, books, etc. $20.
• Garrard SL-95 turntable with cartridge. $50
• Bolens 750 lawn and garden tractor with 32 inch mower deck and electric start. The 1967 model. It's original 7 HP motor has been replaced with an 8 HP Briggs & Stratton. $100. Pictures of Left Side, Right Side, Front.
