I just received four of the WB5OFD coil forms. Larry has done a masterful job recreating the original coil forms perfectly. Fantastic work. Thanks again, and...
Just posted some pictures in the "Photo" section of Try-for-fit for the GB-2 Receiver. I normally build something by designing on paper first, review and...
Nice job Kees! With that big dial and tight-packed chassis, it looks more like a vintage McMurdo Silver than an Ameco! :-) From: "Kees" <windy10605@...> ...
Thanks for the comment, Joe. It looks a lot more like a family member with the Ameglo football decal on the front. 73 Kees K5BCQ ... From: Joe Tyburczy...
Cal Received mine today, nice work very professional! Tnx vry much for doing this, I know you have many hours in each kit. All that is left is finding the...
Hi Cal, Got my kit on Friday and all I can say is "WOW"! As has been said before, the workmanship and time spent are evident in the finished product. Thank you...
Still looking for your chance to score a rare AC-1 on Ebay or searching and searching for the next hamfest to spot one? While you're waiting for the "real...
Hello, I missed something I think. Are the GB-2 receiver kits being sold? How much & where do I send my money? The pictures look great! 73, Sam Neal N5AF...
Hi Sam, Thanks for your interest in and comments on the GB-2 Receiver. Right now I've posted a schematic of what I think will work well (based largely on the...
All: Just wondering. How many would be interested in a low powered AM/CW MOPA rig along the lines of the GB-1/AC-1? I believe there are enough existing parts ...
I would definately be interested in a CW/AM rig using either plate modulation or heising modulation. Many years ago, another lifetime I think, I built a 6M rig...
Glad to see some more CW/AM enthusiasts. The only drawback (other than a modulation transformer) I see about plate modulation, which is basically constant...
I've always liked AM plate modulation. Any way, Eico had an excellent setup with the 723 transmitter and a separate auxilliary plate modulater. I still see...
What is the expected DC B+ operating voltage. I have seen several xformers listed as possible choices but the secondary voltages are slightly different. With a...
Tim, Probably more like 460 VDC unloaded. It will drop considerably under load, the result of the drop across the rectifier and the 'peak' being taken off the...
If we could find one to make a copy from, maybe Larry, wb5ofd@... might be interested in hand-crafting them. From: "Tim O'Rourke" <w4yn@...> Reply-To:...
Ok. I give up. What is a "Miller plug?" Does anyone have a pix? I guess I'm embarassed to ask this question because I've been in the BA game for a quite a long...
It's actually a "Millen" plug and was ,amufactured by the late,lamented James Millen Company. It is used to attch the key to the designated xmtr tube socket...
A defunct FT-243 case will work. Radio Shack used to have them, both the two-pin and the "polarized" single-pin styles. An oldtime Radio/TV distributor...
AFAIK The connector show was made by EF Johnson. I have one somewhere, they are very rare. Millen does make a line of connectors whose pin spacing is the same...
Are you offering any of the FT-243 crystal holders for sale? If so what is the price?. With just a very small modification I am able to fit the smaller HC6U...
The ones I have are FT-241 Ralph. I know the smaller crystals will fit in there, I've made a few of them myself. They look great when completed. I'm not sure...
OK Lots of nice ideas. For now Mark I would like to buy a few 241 cases. I am willing to pursue making some plugs for group but it will have to wait until...
OK. Now I know about the situaition, there is someone who can help solve the problem. Apparently Glen Zook, K9STH, makes the HC6U xtal holder plug for the...
Hi All, I just finished a 6ar6 cw rig for 40/80M. Works well with good output and a chirp free signal. Looking now to build the Ameco clone/replica. I have two...
