My 46104 I bought at a hamfest for $1.50 circa 1982. It was unhacked but missing a tube and the top cover. It looked pretty sad and I had planned to dismantle it to build a VFO.
But first I bought the missing tube and fired it up. It worked fine. I did not have the heart to take it apart as a result. And then it quit. Found a cold solder joint on one of the RF coils pins and after that was reheated it worked fine again. I was impressed that I could get the LAX parking info station loud and clear from 8 miles away using no more than short hunk of wire on the floor.
Now a question: At a hamfest this morning I bought a meter, just a meter no equipment, "USN Type CAY-22026A Type NT-33 25 CY to 20 MC Cal at 60 CY" Anyone know what this meter fits?
Thanks
Wayne
