[Boatanchors] Gonset G76

[Larry WA9VRH]

Hello Jack,

Did it come with a manual? If not there is a PDF version on BAMA that I 
uploaded that looks real good. I cannot answer your question on the mod 
transformers except I could get a number off one. If you need any other 
parts the G-76 without the mod transformer is happy to give up anything you 
need. Let me know and if it is still there be happy to send to you.

Good luck the G-76 is a really great rig!
