Picked up a WS-19 at Hamvention, its a basket case so have no problems doing some modifications to it. Started by removing the VHF set and am now in the process of replacing tons of capacitors and lots of the old brittle wiring.
The goal is to end up with a another low power AM transceiver that I can run at events.
In addition to the VHF junk that's been removed they also had a intercom audio amplifier in the set and have been thinking of using that to drive a speaker or better yet as a modulator for the 807 in the PA. The existing circuit uses a grid modulation system but wondering if anyone ever used the 6V6 in the intercom amplifier to drive the 807 as a plate modulated transmitter? figure maybe I can find a old tube CB that I can take the modulation transformer out of.

OK smart people, I know you are out there so lets hear from you! been working on this project and so far gutted the "B" set and removed it. The B set had a modulation transformer that was feed by a signal 6V6 tube running along at 250 volts on its plate. Figure that was good for maybe a watt or maybe two of audio. I would like to use that old modulation transformer that was in the VHF B set to modulate the 807 in the A set transmitter. The 807 chugs along with around 500 volts on it plate. It was screen modulated but been told the 19 suffers from piss week modulation so was thinking of changing it over to plate modulation. The question is will one 6V6 at 250 volts be enough to drive the 807 PA?
I do not care about power with this set and would be happy with two watts as long as its well modulated.
Any comments?

I'm sorry I know nothing about that set
