Default Scrounging for some old parts (FOUND)

Lovely stuff! But what is the cloth in the backgound for? To keep the
valves warm and thus enhance frequency stability?

You are of course, going to show us pictures of what you
did with them when you're finished. Right? Or no more parts
for you. ;-)

Its kind of tacked together as a 'prototype' in the photo. Now that I've
got it fairly well tweaked out its time to rebuild it properly and replace
the new parts with some OLD parts Dropped a large dime at PTOP today.

watts out on 40 with a clean enough signal to put on the air.
