Hi Ken, Yep, They are a good little rig! I have one in operation, along with a 10B and several 20A rigs. The manual for the unit is available at the "BAMA" site under central electronics. Check your unit out for the QT-1 and also the ones I have seemed to come with only 80-40-20 meter coil sets. The manual tells you what the colors on the coils relate to band-wise. Unless you only intend CW operation, you will need an injection frequency device. Mine is the 458VFO, so you will want to download that manual also as it will help you understand the injection/mixing scheme for the unit. If you see some empty coil forms (5 pin, and 6 pin types) grab them as you can make up the coils for the bands you want to operate.
If you run into problems give a yell, if I can help I will. So far I have restored 5 units in the series along with 2 458VFO units and they were pretty much straight forward to get running. Ah yes CE recommends the RCA 6AG7 tube in the final, different manufacturers made "some" changes to the tube so check that out also. Good Luck and congratulations on another "RESCUE" of a fine rig. 73 Jim WB2FCN http://eshop1.chem.buffalo.edu Ken Zuercher wrote: > > Hello all, > Does anyone have any quick info on a Central > Electronics 10A Exciter in very good condition.
