HEY GANG, I've got a Globe King 400B that hasn't been used for ages. it's pretty dirty and I put about 70 volts A.C. on it last night from a Variac just to see if some of the tubes would light up. that's about as far as I got. Didn't want to get too carried away and start burning up caps and what have you. ever so briefly I did see most of the tubes light up except for the driver 807 and the oscillator 7C5 I believe it is. I think I have those and will follow up later but for now I'm happy. Also got the mercury vapor rectifiers to light off very briefly without burning anything up and then I turned it off. I want to do a lot more inspection and clean up before I get brave and do anything else. that said I'd like to start putting out a search for a 75 meter set of coils for this thing.
It has a 40 meter set of coins in it right now. I'm not complaining about that. I'LL use it there if that is all I can get, but it would be nice to put in on the A.M. window on 75 phone.
If you know of anyone with a 75m band coil set for one of these things, would you please be so kind as to let me know.
