[Boatanchors] Gonset 972A

[rayfri]

I guess this one was modified somewhat.  It has a built in AC power 
supply and two antenna relays were fastened to a bracket installed on 
the back panel so that you could bypass the amp and go right to the 
antenna, or go into the amp and out to the antenna...
The 4X150 must be capable of higher power with an AC supply...    He has 
a meter scale indication  which indicates tuning
values for 300 watt operation..

Overall, the modifications are very professional looking....   you 
wouldnt know it didnt come from the factory with an AC supply built in 
and the other modifications.
