[Boatanchors] Knight 50 CW transmitter for sale

[John Lawson]

(copied to amradio)


Recently I got in a few Boatanchor Items - among them is this cute little 
Knight (Allied Radio) 50 Watt CW transmitter - 80-40-20-15-10 - single 807 
final.

   It is in pretty good cosmetic shape, copper chassis and case, a few very 
minor dings - panel is good, some screws missing here and there. Not a 
junker or a 'shed special'. The 5U4 was broken; I replaced it. The 6AG7 
and 807 are as-received..

   It had several broken wires from the front panel switches to the chassis 
coils - whoever originally built it didn't leave much slack. Also the 
Grid/Plate switch was (I think) replaced, the plate wires were reversed. 
Probably all the work on the switch caused the broken wires - a couple of 
which were just not obvious...  anyway it's working now - I have a 40M 
rock in it and it tunes and loads, making about 35 watts at '200' on the 
(awful, undamped) Shurite meter.

   I have a classic J-38 key mounted on a small piece of masonite to throw 
in...    it'll be just like Jr. High SChool in 1962...   ;}


  I have some digital pix I took that I can send if you wish - I have 
downloaded the two-page description and schematic from BAMA (as jpegs) and 
a printout of that will also be included.

   Asking somewhere in the $75 range: re-live your Novice years again, 
minus the zits and the orthodontia....

   Will pack obsessively and ship to the US ONLY.

   Paypal is preferred - or MO or cash or maybe personal check (with 
FBI/CIA/TSA full backround scan).  :)



   PLEASE REPLY DIRECTLY TO ME, not back to the whole list.
