manual and experiences for SWAN 500

[AMroo]

I have managed to get hold of a Swan 500 that used to belong to the previous holder of my call sign,
Who is now a SK,Call was VK2WF.  He was a full on AMer.

I would love to get it up and running, I will pick it up next week.

Can another AMer help with a manual and or cct for this OB rig.

I think they need a power supply what's a good way to build one up? a P/S that will run it up on
low power may be a good option.

Just want to run it up and work a few of his old buddies.

Any experiences with them?      Thanks for any help offered.

This thread seems to have shifted.

Yep they are a bunch of OBs (I'm 55).

It should give them a touch of nostalgia over their beers, it might even scare them.........mmmm I am a bit of a joker - no better not it might be seen as a lack of respect and he was a good guy.

His old call sign is much sought after down under as it is what we call " a two letter call". The old boy nets were a bit hard to break into before but now they let me straight in so it does make a difference.
I have met some of them so I thought it would be fun, although I know this is a bitch of a rig and like most of them it's heavily  moded, and with no power supply.
Do you know if they need a power supply haven't got it yet.
But the power supply shouldn't be a huge challenge, just a big one cause I work at

So looks like lots of work.
