My apologies to Dale, I misunderstood!

Nice to hear about the Ameco rig. I have one here, a TX-62 with 621 VFO,
that I plan to get on 50.4 soon. It would be nice to see a lot of the
vintage VHF stuff on the air,

Dale,
How about if we assume that I am not a troll!

What is a Clegg Zeus? is that Ham radio or what?W4PQW


Think he was referring to the person who was asking what the Zeus
was....not to
the one searching for the Zeus. Heh...I'm rebuilding an old Ameco
6n2...neat
old transmitter. Just finished the VFO, works great. Now to stuff new
caps
into old (failed) cap. cases.....now to get it onto 50.400 and see who's
around.

Yup...I enjoy VHF boatanchors! The old Gonset IV has surprised a few folks on
50.400.....the audio is quite nice; much "richer" than the other SS rigs I've
used (DX70TH & FT857) on AM. I was hoping for some AM contacts during FD, but
heard no one during the short time I was able to operate, and no replies to my
CQs.

Back on topic....the Ameco uses several dual capacitors in the PS section....I
was going to try to hollow out the caps and restuff them, but the new caps are
too big.....anyone still make 400 mike 450 V dual caps? Didn't see any in my
(brief) search thru Moser and my old Newark catalog. 'Course, the Ameco is NOT
a Collins or Hammerlund....probably no harm in just swapping them out for two
new caps.....

Cheers!

I am on with a Gonset 6M Sidewinder+ PS/speaker. Lots more fun than the
756PRO.

I picked up a nice Hallicrafters SR-46 and matching VFO
at the Charlotte Hamfest back in March. I've been having
a ball rag chewing with local gang on 6AM.
I sure would like to find a vintage amp to go with it,
the 8 watts I get out could use a little help...

Sounds like maybe you need a Clegg Apollo...
