Carl,
Sounds good to me!
Nice score! Always wanted an ART-13 myself. They are right up there with
the R-390 as works of mechanical engineering and sound good on the air
when converted.
So Ive been told. Its hard to imagine but in 51 years as a ham Ive never
seen an ART-13 in operation. If this is a virgin Im not sure what approach
to take.
If the original Mil aluminum transit containers are not included your
shipping cost should be reasonable.
They werent mentioned.
The cases for each of the CAY
units, there are three in the complete set, weigh almost as much as the
transmitters and power supply themselves. But they would not need any
packing, just shipping stickers.
A missing output ? coil could be bothersome since the only coils in the
HF unit are the roller inductors. In the LF unit there is a very large
bee hive looking variometer that would be impossible to replace but if
you need that I could let you have the one from mine. I never plan to get
the LF unit operational since there are too many small parts, tube
sockets, resistor mounts, etc missing but the variometer is intact.
Thanks. Ive some thoughts about getting on 500 Kc with the next round of
FCC approvals.
If a roller ind. is missing from the HF unit it can be replaced with
one that is currently available. Maybe not as nice as the original but
will still work fine. It's a normal linear pitch wound ceramic as in most
tuners.
Ive a few here that can handle the power.
Another part that could be a problem to replace is the special
antenna/transmit multicontact relay that would need to be replaced with a
couple relays to have all the functions needed.
I will take a shot at scanning the schematic and put it up on my website
for you to look over. It's a very simple transmitter actually.
The schematic will be a big help, what Ive found on line so far is mighty
poor.
Nashua is not really much of a drive for me.
Hope to catch you on the air at 75mtrs AM some afternoon. Still need to
do work on the dipole but not till the snow is off the roof.
All I have up at the moment for the Viking I is a 75M sloper off a tower.
My other antennas are still all wired into the regular station in the
basement. All this snow caught me unprepared.

Thanks for responding Bill.
Youre more than welcome to the PS for what it will cost me to ship from
CA
on my UPS business account; it should be quite reasonable. Im in Southern
NH
near Nashua.
Im getting both TBW TX and an ART-13A that have been in dry storage for
40+
years; all supposedly unmodified. However one CAY unit is said to have an
"output coil" missing. The person Im dealing with is a non ham and
cleaning
out a bunch of stuff for his elderly brother so communications is spotty
at
best. I may very well be bugging you for help.
