Somebody with knowledge of VHF and a good set of hands could have a lot

By the 1980's, Nuvistor tubes (6CW4, etc) had pretty well become the
standard for 2m RF amps and converters.
The info from ICM shows a retail price of $12.95 for the kit, so I rather
believe it is from the
late 1960's or early 1970's.

The Nuvistors were history before the 80s. Ameco converters were
using them in the 60s.

And to be honest, some of the frame grid tubes were almost as good. I had
a converter built from a TV tuner with a 5X8 that was really quite marvelous
on 2M.

Has anyone seen any of the compactron TV tuners? I remember hearing good
things about them at the time.
