AC-1 Junior GlowbugT X
« on: July 28, 2022, 05:56:28 PM »

I recently picked up a little 1 tube transmitter, called the AC-1 Junior. I have made a qso with it, but other than the original designer's site I cannot find any documentation, assembly manual, schematic, alignment procedures, etc.

I would appreciate any information I can get.
Thanks

Google Ameco AC-1 -- you will find schematic etc.

I believe the correct website is http://www.glowbugkits.com/.
This kit has a similar name but a different manufacturer then the original Ameco AC-1.

You are correct. This is a one tube QRP radio that has a switch for three crystals and a built in T/R relay and puts out 1 watt. Runs on 12 volts and has a step up transformer for tube voltages. This is NOT the AC-1 as offered back in the day by Ameco.
