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

[James M. Walker]

Ah,
Because the front panel layout, looks surprisingly similar to
the 813 modulated by 2X811As sitting in my parents attic.
Built in 1961. Still (I hope) working/workable assuming I get
back there to retrieve it. Thank you for asking!
