Lettine 130 transmitter
n4joy:
Thanks to W3JN and WA4BWO, a Lettine 130 has been added to my Lettine family! This model is a rare bird indeed as there is almost no information on it outside some QST ads. Tube compliment is 807s for the oscillator, finals, speech amp, phase inverter, and modulator; two 866 rectifiers; and 6L6 clamper. The QST ad indicates 120 to 130 watts input.
I will post more photos as the cleanup progresses.

Nice Lettine 130.
Have been looking for one for a while or even a 240. I just finished the 6 meter 242 Transmitter and it really does a nice job on 6AM. Put together pretty well for the time period.
Gud luck with her.

Thanks. The 130 is quite rare and maybe as rare as the 262. I have amassed a somewhat large collection of Lettines and enjoy restoring and using them. Information on them is virtually nonexistent outside the old QST ads. My first was a 242 that I use for a local "net" on 50.4 (Sunday at 7 pm EST). Lettine also made a VFO and tuner. I built the VFO unit from scratch (pics posted here) using the schematics. On a related note, the 240 schematic on Bama is NOT correct, so I will see about posting my scan of an original.
