[Boatanchors] Does anyone remember the Hunter transmitters?

[Glen Zook]

You are probably talking about the Hunter Cyclemaster
20A that came out in about 1948.  However, it
originally did not have the 6146 tubes which came out
in about 1954.  I don't know if production changed to
the 6146 types or if the unit may have been modified
at a later date.  It could have had a pair of 2E26
tubes which would allow for use of the 6146 without
any circuit changes since the tube bases are
identical.

I have never used one, but I remember one sitting at
Radio Distributing Company in South Bend, Indiana,
when I was first licensed (1959) along with a National
NC-2-40DT that I "lusted over" for several years!

Before becoming a novice, my Elmer gave me an old
Hunter CW transmitter. It looked a bit like a Collins
design, with a large knob in the center of the front
for VFO, CW only, two 6146s, internal power supply,
and a lid which hinged up. It was gray wrinkle 
finished. I believe there was a 3 position switch with
a black knob, for standby, spot and transmit.
