Now that Iam relocated I hope to get to know some of you.

This is the rig after cleaning, with the transformers and chokes reinstaled. and the power sulppy chassie I have rewired the hi voltage supply with new GTO 15.

Nice box.

Clean it up, tune it up, feed it well and it will pay you great dividends!

I just love the look of those modern-looking white panels.   What a beautiful rig.

Make it frequency-agile from 160-40M with vacuum variables / turns counters and a big band switch. You will have it all - whirlwide!
