When I was a Novice, ca 1970, a local old-timer Ham loaned me
a Farnsworth Radio that was crystalled for the local 34/94 2 meter repeater. The unit was a rack that was about 3 ft by 2 ft and had a transmitter unit, a receiver unit, and a 60 Hz power supply unit - all sitting side-by-side. Each unit could be removed from the rack independently. I recall the transmitter had an 829B in the final - the power supply was full of mercury vapor tubes. The story was that it was intended for use on trains. Either way it was a 2 man lift. I've searched several times for information on it but I've never found any mention of Farnsworth VHF equipment. Does anybody recognize this from my description? Rob WA3TGF |
