Anyone have one of these splatterboxes? I owned one and at one time
Johnny Carson and I were competing for the same TV channel.

Nasty little sweep boxes they were!

Loud too..I remember it.


Yes they were, they had a "SuperMod" circuit that really boosted the mod
at the expense of deadkey. Actually, it was probably the best way to
drive the damn thing.



That and a Mark III would make ya famous back in the day!

I had a Varmit 450xl hooked to my 148. It was the ****. I later traded the
Varmit for an HR2510 and bought a 10 tube phantom. I still have the 148 as I
truly love this radio. I recently found some decent covers and knobs for the
148, but I still need a new faceplate as I have most of the lettering worn
off from about 18 years of use.
