[Boatanchors] Re: Does anyone remember the Hunter transmitters?

Once upon a midnight dreary, Ronald W. Evans pondered, weak and weary:

Wow!

That's it the best I can remember.

I didn't recall the long freq dial, but I remember the black lever 
switch on the right and the VFO knob.

I think the spec may be incorrect, as I am pretty sure the thing had 
a pair of 6146s, and even if only one it would have done a good bit 
more than 20 watts. I suspect it was 200.

I didn't remember Cyclemaster, but part number prob was CM-20A which 
fits.

Thanks!

I tried to Google the radio and found nothing other than the Rigpix 
site and an identical mirror site. Apparently the rig was not very 
popular. Would anyone know if there was a matching receiver, or any 
more about the thing? Or about the company?

Too bad the rig wasn't more popular. It was a marvelous radio, rugged 
and well designed. No key clicks, didn't drift.

My wife says I talk her ear off at bedtime. Tonight she gets the 
story of my Hunter CW transmitter!

I'm on Digest mode so I may not see or be able to reply to other 
messages for a day or two until the Digest is released.
