Hi Randy:

The power transformers are pretty easy to acquire. *Just look for one that

worked nicely in the AT-1, also.

Meters are critical for the right look. *You can make new scales using a
number of free software programs.

Nice rig. *Beware, though, the power output is only about 8 watts, so do not
expect 35 watts input and 25 watts output.

Hi Colin,

Very good info. I will look for the tube type test equip for the
xformer, great idea. Possibly, I will find another AT-1 at one of the
hamfests in the future for the meter, and I also need knobs..

Thanks, Randy, W5KCM
