Bill, I put a power supply / modulator for one a couple of years ago.
We have'nt finished moving in yet, so it is not part of the station here in Tampa as yet. small : http://www.lakeerieba.com/images/sm_tbw.gif large : http://www.lakeerieba.com/images/tbw.jpg Pictured next to it is a 1937 homebrew with HF300's I will get going one of these years. Till then it makes a swell hat rack. The TBW is a fun rig. Lots of big tubes and front panel lights. Looks great at night. The modulator is a PP 811 and ART13 mod xfmr. Driven with an old p.a. amp pp 6L6. The power supply is solid state. This project taught me not to waste time with 866's! The only mod to the xmtr was adding a Zener a screen grid one of the 837s. I used banana jacks for the connectors and wired the jacks to a plug I had around here. So the original plugs are still in the base. 803's are still very cheap. 837's about the same. Coupled the tx with a BC779 rx and use a BC221 to check freq. The tuner is very agile, and can couple right into a 50 ohm load no sweat. Built in TR relay. IMHO I would not try to make this thing work CW unless you used the origial configuration and had that giant relay in there key and unkey everything. Lots of fun , but man does the complete set up take a lot of space! But truly some old buzzard radio. de KA4JVY Mark --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello, > Has anyone gotten one of these well built transmitters on the air?
