In the 50s the ARRL had the Chambers 813 "3 control" rig as one of its centerpieces. I have collected all sorts of articles on it as well as one of the early Handbooks with it. As most of you know I am rebuilding one

However there is one Handbook scan I found on the net with particularly clear and different angle pictures that I want to either own or see very good scans of it. That article also incorporates a number of changes over the developed over the years.
 
Since it calls out information on QST up to October of 1956, I presume it is the 1957, 8 or 9 Handbook. It is in Chapter 6 and starts out on page 192 "A 500 Watt Multiband V.F.O. Transmitter.  I do know it is not a 1960 as I have one of those and it is not in there. A scan of the first page of the article/ Handbook that I am looking for is below.

Can you check your Handbooks for those years and tell me which year starts it on page 192 ? Tell me the year and I can try and find one of my own on line?

Thanks and 73

Hi Carl,

The 1957 HB has the article "A 500-Watt Multiband VFO Transmitter" on pages 192 to 197, chapter 6.  The first page of the article matches the one you posted.  I could also check the '55 and '56 handbooks in case you have trouble finding a copy of '57.  If you cannot find a copy, let me know and I will help with the scans, or loan the book to you.

73,
Rick

'56 handbook has it on pages 194-198.  '55 has it on pages 174-178.

55 and 56 articles have smaller and fewer pics, and the first page has an oblique view of the front panel, where 57 has a straight-on larger view of the front, with more pics in the article.

There's a 55 and 57 ARRL Handbook on ebay right now. These Handbooks pop up there all the time.

Beyond that, we can't tell who the final winner is until it's over.

Hey Carl -

Which year do you need? I have a box of duplicates at home and would be happy to give you the one you need if I have it, thereby saving you the ebay hassles. I can check tonight. And I'll be down around New Haven tomorrow and Wednesday, so a drop off is possible.  Wink

Hey Carl -

Sorry for the delay, had a pretty tight sked down there, so I would've had to meet you somewhere on the way back. Was a 'short notice' situation. And anywhere south of Springfield Mass is not a good place to be after 3:30 or so.

Glad you got the needed book!
