I have a WWII BC-306 antenna tuner that was for 180 to 800? KC. Tapped coil and a variometer (or variocoupler). I would be interested to know if anyone has mod. one for use as a modern ant. tuner. It has two ceramic feed thru/connecting posts that would look good conn. to my 450 ohm ladder line with a balun in line.
Any ideas?

I recently acquired a well used DX-35 along with some boat anchor items. When I insp. the DX-35 I was surprised to find the RF output tank coil was missing and a single coil that appears to be 10//11 m was in its place. Then I found (3) 8.xx mhz crystals installed. No way I could come up with 26--29 mhz out. from above mentioned xtals.24.xx mhz maybe or 32.xx. I wonder if it was mod. for use on some MARS or CAP freq. The osc/buffer ckts. were designed to double or triple the osc. freq.
Any ideas, anyone?

I think I may have a 250TH in my "stuff". If you do not get the one @ auction, let me know if interested. I think I recall testing it for emission about 7 yrs ago on my "big bottle tester".

Thanks AC5UP--that helps.

I recently regis. on this site (and sent a contribution). I have used Antiqueradios.com site for years and I am used to being able to view all my posts; here I do not see that option. I recently found a post about Gonset converters and corresp. with the poster. I found a Gonset in my "stuff" and now do not know what forum I found the fellow on  and did not get his callsign.
So, now I'm lost. An old ham trying to learn new tricks.

Thanks all. It turned out to be the Navy RBM HF model. The tube lineup and pix are correct. Someone put it all on a 19" relay R. panel and moved a few knobs around.

Harold

Thanks one and all. Good info.

None in the flight deck pix was the same. Pix might help but I do not think I can learn to post them--old man; new technology.

Thanks Mike--that was him. He has been "lost" a long time. Think I will try to find out if he is S.K.

P.S.  This a great site--I only found it recently.

I had access to a Kenwood TS 830 for a few days; thinking of buying it. It was fine except for an intermittent drifting (upward) of received freq--the digital freq. would show about 300 hz shift up. Also, intermitt. the FIX lamp illuminated and the freq. on dispkay was locked--tuning dial had no effect. Recycling the FIX switch would restore the orig. frequency it was tuned to. Is this a common problem with this model? I am basically a Boat Anchor man from way back and this new fangled stuff intimidates me.

I knew a HAM in 50's; w8prc, from Ohio. He called it "Perfect Radio Communications". I tried to find him when I finally got a computer but some Ham Club now has his call. I am afraid he is SK. Did anyone here ever know him, way back?

I have a WWII vint. receiver that reminds me of BC 312, 342 and 348 but I can not ID it. Someone took mainframe and put into a 19" r. rack and moved some things around. The tube lineup has me stumped; to wit--(4) 12sg7, (2) 12sj7, (1) 12sk7, (2) 6h6 and a 12a6 af output.
Four band--covers 2.0 to 20.00 mhz. The escutcheon around dial is like a 348 etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can anyone tell me if the T-368 xmit VFO can be removed as a sub assembly without butchering RF deck?

Thanks
