The 1956 handbook has a very nice 500 watt class C all band 813 transmitter
on page 198. I had that item in my hands many years ago. It was given to me
by the High school I went to. I operated it and enjoyed it very much for a
couple years. It also had the 811 modulators and the supplies in a rack. I
did not know at that time that it was THE TRANSMITTER documented in the
handbook until years later, when I found it in the 1956 handbook at a ham
fest.  When I opened the book and saw THAT transmitter on page 198, I almost
cried! It was like looking at the gost of a long lost friend. I parted it
out (kept the parts), and some of it is here and there in my 4-1000 rig, and
the mod transformer is now in my DX100 (art-13 type). The final tank circuit
is now my antenna tuner.
Anyway... check it out. It is a beauty! Sometimes I just look at those
pictures and think back when I was 16 yaers old on 11 meters with that thing
(really)! My father insisted I get my license, so It was the start of my
hamming.  Every solder connection was right where I remembered it to be.
Memories of the 813.

Hi....There are MANY examples of single band 813 amps in the old handbooks.
I
have a 1963 open now, and it gives a very good explanation, pics and
componant list. Also shows a power supply and control circuits. Good
luck..........Al/W8FAX
