[AMRadio] This is not a transmitter

[Bill Guyger]

Wow, someone is to be congratulated! They had the wherewithal, the skill, and did a beautiful job. Loved the Reddy Kilowatt sticker. 

E Systems over in Garland (Texas) had a shake table in their environmental lab that used a Gates? or RCA? (I’ve slept since then) AM modulator to drive the table. 

The company I was working for built Mil Spec connectors and had to qualify some of them at 82 G. random vibration at up to 5 Kc. (again IIRC)  for 8 hours on each axis. Being in that room for 8 hours with that thing running would make you sick at your stomach from the vibration that was coupled through the air to your gut.

Acquiring parts is one road  block, lack of support and almost an antagonistic outlook on building by the ARRL is another.  But, there are plenty of non-hams still building vintage based gear.  Some of the CB amps that are on Youtube make a modern hams building  prowess look lame.  In the audio world, you get a work of art like this:
