Yes, that is the one... not even in the same league as the Drake rigs,
but an unusual rig anyway.

In article et,

Is the CM1 the reciever that used the same tube for all receiver
stages? I think it was supposed to compete with the Drake 2A and 2B in
the early 60s. I have seen them but never used one. How did they work?
Did they approach the performance of the 2B?

Anyone have one of these receivers around that they are no longer

I always wanted to fool with one, so...just thought I would check

That brings back some memories. The model number was CM-1 if I recall.
I
had one back around 63. I had forgotten I even had one of those. Im in
the
process of 'collecting' my old stations.. hi.

They are no 2B- but still a nice RX- They were about 2/3 the cost of a 2B ($175
for the CM-1). 5 6AW8A's- triode/pentode. It is really an 80M RX with xtal
controlled converters for the other bands. In a day when even the nicest
Hallicrafters or Hammarlunds sported 50 Kc calibration marks- the CM-1 had marks
every 10 KHz on all bands- and of course, the stability of an 80M RX on 10M. They
came in 2 styles all grey front panel with horizontal black pin striping 2/3 the
way up and a black freq window bezel and a panel that was black on the upper 1/3
with a grey freq bezel. The former, in my opinion is the snazzier looking RX.
Even rarer than the CM-1 is the matching CMS-1 speaker. The grill cloth is black
with a gold painted "thread" pattern making loops through out. I have recreated
the cloth using a special gold acrylic paint- awfully close to the original cloth.

BTW, Collins S-Line grey is a near perfect match for the Mosley colors.
I have a nice difital pix of my CM-1 and CMS-1 if anyone would like to see it.

Gateway Electroncs in St. Louis unloaded the remains of the line. I
still have a AC VTVM build in one of the speaker cases. BILL
