Hi everyone,
I am the advisor for our high school amateur radio club, W1HLO. One of the projects our students is working on is recreating our original station, which was a Hammarlund HQ-129X and a Harvey Wells TBS-50D Bandmaster Deluxe with a D-104 mic. We have the receiver and the mic as well as the power supply for a TBS-50D... all we need is the TBS-50D Bandmaster Deluxe and the matching VFO. See the attached picture from our club in 1959.
The kids are busily restoring the HQ-129X at the moment, replacing the wax caps and testing the resistors, all the while learning about how to read a schematic, how to solder, and what do capacitors, resistors, and inductors really do. I'd like to purchase a TBS-50D with or without the VFO to complete our station for our kids to restore and put on the air.
Please let me know if you have a Bandmaster Deluxe for sale. Thank you!
73,
Tony W1TTL
