I picked a nice looking Supreme brand six meter SSB/AM tranceiver at a
local hamfest.
I've never heard of this brand and can't find any info on it.
It uses a 6146 in the final, almost if not all tube and has good
quality components with point to point wiring. The thing is about the
size of an old Swan 350 and looks internally almost homebuilt but I've
been told that in the mid 60's era(I'm guessing about the era), many
small xcvr makers took a few shortcuts for finacial reasons.
Any help would be appreciated, especially a schematic.
Thanks a lot.

That name doesn't bring up any memories. There were some obscure
companies making VHF SSB transmitters back in the sixties, but I can't
think of any SSB transceivers from obscure manufacturers.

Maybe it was something that never made it to North America, there
was Japanese equipment that never made it over here, and of course
there was some stuff manufactured in the UK.


Hi,

Just my two pennyworth but if it's 1960s-era gear it's unlikely to be UK
made as we didn't have Six in those days, that band was occupied by
black & white TV at that time. We didn't get Six back until the mid-80s.
