All: I thought I’d chime in with my AC-1 progress: IT’S DONE! I’ve included before and after pix of the unit. I did a complete checkout last night after...
Wow, nice job, Cal. Your original chassis paint looked very good to begin with, so cleaning up the xfmr, hardware and knobs really makes it pop. I wonder if...
It's done. Check out the added pictures to the album I previuosly sent out. Cal. ... __________________________________ Yahoo! FareChase: Search multiple...
First off: Many thanks on the comments I received on the "Red Knob Job" AC-1. Shucks and thanks! Second, on a notion, I tried to do 30 meters on the AC-1....
Looks great, Cal.... we're gonna need to have an Ameco Night one of these long winter evenings, and see if we can get some AC-1 / GB-1 action going coast to...
Thanks, John: Lookin' forward to putting the old girl on the air. Possibly SKN or the AC-1 night previously proposed. Cal. john <johnmb@...> wrote: Looks...
All: While trying to think about the possibilities of building the GB-1 using other tubes, eliminating the 6X4 and possibly building up a MOPA type rig using a...
I have a couple of Collins R390a and thought i would build a couple of AC1 clones for 40 and 30 to use with the r-390a, and wondered if anyone has tried...
Hi Dennis: It's odd that you asked that question because after rebuilding "the Red Knob Job" AC-1, I thought about some of these issues. I think that doing...
http://www.qsl.net/wb1gfh/ameco1.html Down below the parts list on this page are some suggestions on biasing the 6V6 and adding an OA2 regulator from Trev,...
Volks: Has anyone ever used a VFO with their AC-1? Inquiring minds want to know. Cal, n6KYR/8 __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine...
I think Trev, K6ESE hooked up his DDS signal generator to his AC-1 and it worked FB. However, when confronted with the choice of adding solid state devices to...

Well folks i homebrewed my first ac-1 today and it actually works rather well. I didn't use the vr tube or zener but used a 120 mfd 450 volt cap for the...
Dennis mentioned brewing up separate AC-1's for 40, 30 and 20 meters...what a concept! But it got me thinking about 80 meters. It's the band I never hear CW in...
Way to go Dennis! I used the cap input PS and mine has no chirp either. I suspect that the amount of chirp is affected by the choice of xtal more than the PS ...
Sure! Not much activity during the day, but there's always someone on at night... John K5MO ... -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free...
well as you know 80 is dead during the days but at night and especially now as winter is coming on 80 will pick up a lot. Also as it might seem dead it REALLY...
80M CW is alive and well every night here in the Northeast. The old Novice slice has multiple slow-speed nets that run in the early evening. Most of them are...
Well, seems as though there is lack of activity on my most FAVORITE listserv. I did use my camera to take some pictures of the Feb 1955 Pop. Elect. 6AQ5...

Cal - It's quite possible to make "scans" of documents by photographing the pages at "full frame" and at the highest available "quality". If you care to try...
All: If anyone is interested, I posted the schematic and coil data for that 1955 PE xmtr article in which it shows that young ham in a red sweater intently...
Very curious. Since the link he posted does not work, there is no way to tell if this is an original AC-1 that has been "reconstituted" as a kit, a semi-clone,...
Cal - Did you get the PDF file I sent back? It had the pertinent sections from the pages I could work with. The first page was a little out of focus, so...
No, never got the PDF. Go ahead and post on the Ameco pages. I'm sure someone can use it. Cal. ... __________________________________ Yahoo! FareChase: Search...
