I just acquired a box of JG-6072 (12AY7 / 12AX7) tubes and sockets. These
seem perfect for a first 12V radio project.



Ideally Id like to build a very simple 2 tube CW transceiver for 40M,
something like this one:

Unfortunately I dont know how to read Portugese.



Could someone point me to something similar?



Thanks!

Picked up a scratched up Kenwood Ts-690S and a ASTRON RS-35A. Would like to
open up the cases, blow the dust out and repaint. Any issues?



Like my gear to look mint.

OK, Ive checked my archives, and Googled a Googleplex of times with no
results that seem to fit.



Many years ago, I built a simple square wave generator, using a MC-799P
Dual Buffer (anybody still remember RTL Logic???) One IC, two
resistors, and two capacitors were all that was needed to run off two AA
batteries for over a decade.. [Probably over four decades by now, but with
occasional battery replacement every 20 years.] Harmonics of the ≈1 kHz
osc. would go well into...
