[Boatanchors] Kelvin Electronics Novice Rig

[Bill Stewart]

Great find Rodger. That will be a fun winter project. I look forward to hearing 
about the Kelvin kit building experience. I think they may still be in business 
making lots of modern day electronics kits, educational projects, etc..... 
see http://kelvin.com/ 
I know what ya mean about the kitties. I'm also looking after one...a bit older... 
with an aggravating (for her) problem. It do take time and money, if ya gotta 
take 'em to the vet. GL with yours and congrats on saving them from the picker.

Bill, 

I got lucky and grabbed an unbuilt still in box one as a buy it now item on ebay earlier this year and it will get built this winter. I was going to ebay to search for a connector I needed for some Tektronix gear and it had just been listed for $65 so I grabbed it. I believe they were sold to schools for the Vo tech program but I had never run across one before. 

I will report back on building and operation after the first snow falls. Right now I am tied up with getting outside projects done before winter and currently looking for three small kittens I rescued from a field before they got combined. They are currently hiding, probably asleep, somewhere in the radio room right now. Fortunately two of them will be going to a new home later this week but my soon to be 13 year old daughter is keeping one as a birthday present  Kitten sitting is about as tiring as having infants.

Just wondering if anyone has seen one of these. One just sold on eBay 
(made a bid, but it went outside my comfort zone). A manual is on 
BAMA. Neat looking 'lil rig. Anyone on the list the lucky bidder?

>From The Manual: 
The Amateur Band Transmitter (Stock No. 153-03) is a crystal 
controlled C.W. (Continuous Wave-Telegraphy) 50 watt 
transmitter kit operating on both the 80 and 40 meter "ham" 
bands. A crystal oscillator/amplifier stage and a final 
output stage combining with plug-in coil make this an 
excellent transmitter kit for the beginner or Novice 
operator. Both mechanical and electrical construction is 
made simple by the use of a full-size chassis drilling 
template, stage-by-stage wiring pictorials and schematic 
diagram.
