Now I've got a Chinese military AM/CW transmitter to match my Chinese HF receiver...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/32025136@N03/sets/72157637532984346/It is model 102E. The 102E is an electrical copy of the American AN/GRC-9 set, but the Chinese transmitter seems to be built in a more conventional fashion (as opposed to the unusual American compact backpack-style rig).
One bad power resistor replaced and it sprang to life, powered by my Heath UT-1 utility power supply. The rig normally used either 425 vdc or 500 vdc for the plate supply. With about 300 volts B+ and the internal switch set for the low B+ position the rig made about 10 watts out CW. After testing (and confirming the caps involved would stand the high voltage) I changed to 700 volts B+ on the high B+ position. That produced 50 watts CW output into 50 ohms - very nice.
A small amount of chirp is present, very little drift of the VFO, but all my testing has been on 160m so far.
Adding a PTT carbon mic produced 100% modulation 50w PEP. Sounds pretty decent...
Here's a good introduction to the rig...
