Title: SOLD: WWII BC-459A transmitter
Post by: Avery W3AVE on January 26, 2020, 08:19:30 PM
7-9.1 MHz, Western Electric mfr., unpainted aluminum, pair of 1625s finals.

Unmodified and untouched, as far as I can see. Tubes in unit all original (VT-137, VT-138). Below the chassis, looks like it just came off the assembly line.

VT-136/1626 oscillator and 8000 kHz octal crystal plugin are missing. No case.

I'll take photos when I have a chance.

$25 plus shipping from zip 20854 or pick up in Md. suburb of D.C.
