Hello,

Can someone suggest a CW only, all tube tranceiver for me? Nothing
QRP, more like between 20 and 100 watts, no transmitter/receiver
separate boxes, and no SSB transmitting capability. I want glowing
tubes and CW, in one box (power supply, of course, on the side).

Thanks!

Little ole HW-16 is hard to beat, VFO on the side.

It would be hard to beat, since if it wasn't the only CW only transceiver
with tubes, it would be among a handful.

Nothing else comes to mind at the moment. Before SSB came along,
transceivers were pretty rare at HF. The only tube non-SSB
HF transceiver that comes to mind was that Gonset, was it a G-76?
AM, and I can't remember if it actually included CW (or if the
receiver was suitable).

Once things started to become solid state, CW-transceivers became
more common. Ten-Tec, the various Heathkit QRP transceivers,
and those from smaller manufacturers.
