I said Ive owned one, that is past tense.
I liked the phasing rigs so much I used them to drive transverters for
VHF/UHF as well as one on 160M since the 100V didnt cover it at the time; I
later found the 160 kit.
The Lakeshore was a II model, not a B. I still have the Hetrodyning VFO
which will be restored and used in a vintage AM station. You wouldnt happen
to know of a source for the dial scale? Mine is a bit rough after the
plastic face plate disintegrated.
Since AM was still popular on VHF/UHF well into the 70's they were an easy
way to get a decent signal and driving a KW linear on all modes.
I sold all that gear off in the late 80's when I succumbed to a HF SS xcvr
for the main HF station and to drive the transverters.
I still use the Hallicrafters (much modified in the RX path) HA-2 and HA-6
to drive 1500W amps; cant kill the 5894's and they are so much more linear
than a SS brick.

I agree with Bob that the phasing rigs sounded great on AM. Ive owned all
the CE's from the 10A to 200V, a Lakeshore Phasemaster, and a HT-37.
However
I always ran them in the DSB position except for the 200V which was a
cheapend up 100V.
Ive been keeping a lookout for another 100V these days to keep company
with
the 75A4 and NCL-2000 Ive had since 1964. Worked a lot of DX and contests
with that setup. Sold the 100V in the late 80's and been kicking myself
since.

Carl, you have a Lakeshore Phasemaster?!! I've been looking for one of
those for some time. You see, that radio is a part of the history of my
hometown - Manitowoc, WI. Lakeshore Industries (named for the fact that
the
original factory [which is now a cannery] was close to the shore of Lake
Michigan), who made this early phasing rig, was in my hometown. When I
belonged to my hometown ham club in the 90s, some of the OTs were former
movers and shakers at Lakeshore Industries. My old club has a couple of
Phasemaster IIBs they're restoring for a vintage station (one of them was
found 2 years ago, abandoned, in the last building Lakeshore industries
was
located in). I had a brief discussion with the designer of the
Phasemaster
rigs (Hubert Willis, W9TQV, if I remember right), about them back in 1997
(we were looking at the Phasemaster IIB, the club had on the shelf at the
time). Those things are as rare as hens teeth, and my old club won't part
with the extra Phasemaster II they have (yes I asked).
