Varmint XL-1000
Anyone have one of these splatterboxes? I owned one and at one time Johnny
Carson and I were competing for the same TV channel. Nasty little sweep boxes they were! |

Actually, it was probably the best way to drive the damn thing. flashbacks http://www.shadowstorm.com/cb/rigs/Varmit-XL-1000.jpg |

I later traded the Varmit for an HR2510 and bought a 10 tube phantom. I still have the 148 as I truly love this radio. I recently found some decent covers and knobs for the 148, but I still need a new faceplate as I have most of the lettering worn off from about 18 years of use. |

That radio would still be a favorite if it were available, eh? I have an old eagle 515 kenrich tube amp that hasn't been plugged in for about 8 or 10 years. It probably needs some caps by now.. |

Yeah, but the tubes are outrageous. A couple of 4cx250B's or 572's are a better buy. The EL519's aren't much better than the domestic tubes price wise. |
