[Boatanchors] A Radio Transmitter I would like to put in my LivingRoom

[James M. Walker]

That HB unit package, was a group of articles from the Amateur
Radio Handbook, from the late 50s early 60s. It consisted of the
Single 813 transmitter, which also had a built-in VFO, this one
doesn't. Also the pair of 811A modulators for a 300 watt modulator.
Even the high voltage power supply looks like the articles in the
Handbook. If I had to hazard a guess, the unit in the top of the rack
is most likely the 150 watt (AM) antenna tuner also from that era
Handbook. Next "Best Guess" for the PA would be the single
4-400A rig with no VFO, thus the external EICO VFO in the
photos.

Last observation, the unit is rack mounted, however the wooden frame
indicates that it most likely was "mounted" in a closet, with braces to
hold it vertical in the closet door-way, and maybe casters for swing-out
servicing. FWIW, es YMMV.
