Forget the transistor got invented in the 1940s.

1948, actually. So what?

1947, actually - at Bell Labs.

Heh...I knew that and you knew that, but Sir James would make
it a Federal Case of misdirection in this thread to disagree with
his royal Type-Seveness. :-)

Bell Labs made the announcement of the transistor invention
in 1948. The actual invention was done in 1947.

No doubt Sir James wishes the announcement would also have
been done on a broadcast transmitter using a microphone in
series with the antenna a la Reggie Fessenden. :-)

The Type 7 is a unique design. No similar amateur radio transceiver exists,
either in current production nor in the past.

Hmmmmm - judging from the photos on your website, I'd have to agree
with that one!

Heap glowing gratuitous praise for the wonderful workmanship, the
beauty of the design, the ethereal glow of the mighty vacuum tubes.

If not, Sir James will raise the Hue and Cry agin ya with multitudes
of mighty paragraphs. :-)

After all, this was Sir James' "state of the art" in amateur radio as
of the early 1990s!
