Hi All;
I have a Brand new, never opened 80 and 40 metter CW transmitter in
KIT form. Made by an electronics firm here on Long Island, I suspect
in the 60's. The kit also requires you to punch or drill the chassis
and front panel with a paper templete(supplied), wind the plug in coil
on a supplied form, etc. This is a complete TUBE XMITTER in KIT FORM.
Price is $125- shipped CONUS. Thanks es 73............RICH

Subject: Info Needed
Thanks to Nick W5FUA for data on the Solar model CE Capacitor
"Exam-eter". Want to try and bring one back from the dead!
I STILL need a copy of the infomation on the Model CF "Exam-eter".
(The CE is close, but there is some differences!)
Anybody out there have a book they can copy on the "CF"?
