Found an ART-13 Audio Amplifier module in a box of stuff. It looks pretty nice. Compact for something that will take a micropohone and drive 811A grids.

The ART-13 has clear audio, but not the best frequency response due to smallish modulation transfomer. I wonder if the speech amp module can do better especially on the lows - the limitation being in the mod iron?

Some capacitors may have to be changed, I can see that.

The iron 'size' looks OK for the 3W or so the 811 grids might need, but I haven't had time to mess with anything from this estate yet. Just trying to finish getting what's left out of the garage.

Patrick....  I have used several of those transformers with good result..    T 202 with the split secondary is a good one to use for the 50's era Handbook 6L6 speech amp.. and others..   Ive never played with a complete art13 speech amp..  Have fun..

That's great news! Just collecting few audio-ish things from the estate spoils and like the idea of driving other grids with that.

Brain was stuck on 811s and didn't notice the many possibilities there.

When Ray, WD2AFJ was tooling around with the MK-214D that I ultimately bought from him, he made a modulator using the mod iron from an ART-13. He took a pair of 572B's and modulated P-P 813's before ultimately making a 'beefier' 805 modulator. Don't over look that transformer either!
