[Boatanchors] WRL 755A / SM-90

[Glen Zook]

The 755 and 755A WRL VFOs are scarce but definitely
not rare.  The SM-90 screen modulator for the Globe
Chief series is another matter.  I have seen exactly 2
of these in over 45 years.  The first was the one that
I got from K9LHC in November of 1959 that went with my
original Globe Chief 90A.  The second was one that I
"discovered" on eBay a couple of years ago.  The eBay
one had a wrong description and only 15 minutes to go
without a single bid.  I bid the minimum and won the
auction.  That SM-90 completed the re-creation of my
original General Class station from 1959 (Globe Chief
90A, WRL 755 VFO, SM-90 screen modulator, and
Hallicrafters S-107 receiver).  There are some photos
of this on the K9STH website the URL of which is
listed at the end of this message.  The link is almost
at the bottom of the list of links.
