[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] NC-100 restoration project

[Ian]

If anyone would like a restoration project, contact Craig directly at his
phone or email below.
73, Ian N8IK


 I had hoped that someone would want it. Service manuals for it are
available on the Internet. I can give guidance on how to implement the
cascade input stage using a 6ds4 or 6cw4 NUVISTOR triode. I have a pair of
6cw4 NUVISTOR tubes to go with it.
