Dumont! We had one of those UHF mobile radios at the communications shop I worked at! Good looking radio, was not real dependable though!

I'm sure with some care it would fire right back up. I still have most of it in storage. Even the Link and Allen B DuMont stuff... The problem is paying the electric bill. It costs a lot of money to run those space heaters 24/7. Not that it would make a large difference in the already high $1300.00/month electric bill. I would imagine that equipment would easily eat over $50 a month in electricity Then the Air Conditioning cost to cool the room back down... cheers skipp skipp025 at yahoo.com www.radiowrench.com/sonic > "John J.
