Good morning,
recently I acquired a BC-375 with a TU 8 B Tuning Unit ( 6.2-7.7Mhz). 
The previous owner had modified the transmitter to run it at 10V 
Filament and a lower Plate Voltage. He removed the Modulator tubes and 
used it on CW only.
Fortunately he cut the wires direct at the terminals and with a little 
bit of pulling I was able to reconnect them to the original terminals. 
The Transmitter is now back in original condition. I build a 1KV/24V 
Supply to test the unit.
It put's out about 80 watts into a 50 Ohm load on 40 Meters.
Now my Question: what would this transmitter be worth with 2 VT-4 and a 
VT-25 missing. It work's and is in good shape.

Thanks guy's and have a nice day.
