RE: [AMRadio] Good Hams
With all this talk of tubes and good will toward men... If anyone has a pair of 801As they want to sell or trade, I need a pair to get my BC-223 on the air. It's cleaning up nicely and very soon the 801s will be the only thing holding me up. Thanks! 73, Mark W1EOF

Re: [AMRadio] Good Hams
You're a good man and good sport Geoff... I might have some 250th's around here, but they are boxed up if I do, so will take me a month or so ;) to find them. If I find one (or two) with good filaments, I'll send 'em your way. and you call 'me' a good man. YOU da Man, Brian! thanks for the thought. They'd certainly be appreciated. In the meantime, if you come across a 750TH or TL, I could use a good one here. I've only -seen- one, once, and John/W5MEU had it. I -think- Bill/K5LLK (later WR5DX) got it, but he, too, has SK'ed on us. I've got a 450TL and a line on a pair of TH's, but I don't think the 750T and the 450T have the same base, but I might be mistaken. At 450W of plate dissapation each, the 450's (if the base is the same) would work in the Bartlesville Transmitter (if I'm remembering correctly). Hey, up in your neighborhood (almost) in Shreveport, ol' Ronnie/W5SUM (ex WB5AWA) got hisself an RF deck to house a couple of 450T's. Check with Ronnie. Last I knew, he was gathering parts for a home-brewed single 450T final, modulated by a pair of 450's. Since he now has that deck, perhaps y'all could work something on homebrewing you up a rig to get back on the air with. Speaking of which, have you (or anyone) talked to W5NBC lately? Last I heard from him, Jim was in Sour Lake, TX, just west of Beaumont, on Highway 105. -- Driving your AM Rig without a scope, is like driving your car at night, without headlights.

[AMRadio] Transformer Rewinding
Some time back in 2005 I found a guy that rewound the power transformer for my HRO60. He did a great job and his price was reasonable. I have another transformer that needs to be rewound and I can't locate his name. Can anyone help me find this guy? I think he was somewhere in the East. Maybe in 3 land, not sure. Bob W6TR.
