The VFO cover has three callsigns written in pencil for identification. Two
callsigns are similar. the transmitter has a unique history and was
featured on an interesting 1950's QST photo cover---it was originally owned
by noted DX'er. It was factory built. I sold it at a Hamfest in 1971 or
1972. Just interested in knowing who the current owner is.

Best regards

You are the current owner of everything you own.


Like wow man, that's really deep...

Was it in mint condition?

Actually, I would rate it as used, good condition when I had it. The
insulation on the wires was flaking off and some of the coppper conductors
showed corrosion. The 11-meter band was not calibrated and the carbon
voltage dropping resistors for the differential keying circuit all burned up
in a mini-fire---they were replaced with larger wattage wire-wound
components. That's how I remember it after about 35 years.

It's probably rusting away under tons of garbarge after it was parted-out
and dumped on the street corner waiting for 'pickup'---when solidstate
became the fashion.. However, if it's still out there I'd like to pass it's
history along. Personally, I don't have time to play retro-radio. I'll
stay on the newsgroup for a couple of weeks hoping for an answer then
unsubscribe---the owner can contact me---one callsign is still good in the
callbook. Bye...

We really need a universal boatanchor registry. Other people on other
newsgroups have called me names for suggesting, but I think would be
good idea.
