[AMRadio] B&W 5100 Possibly the best built ham transmitter? (imho)

[russ dworakowski]

You're just  getting  personal  about  it Larry.  They are all BAs
and  most are  fixable.  My  fixed up Viking II was  really beat  up  and  
reminded  me  of an old  Dodge.  Certainly  can't fault  Dodge  for  lack of 
  iron,  I  can   Johnson  though.  Rust?  well,  Globe  seems to  be  the  
worst,  but  Johnson  is  not  far  behind-  when  metal  prep  was  
considered.   Have  fun with  this  folks.  Russ.
