[Boatanchors] Need suggestions/assistance powering up an R392

[Bob Kulow]

I've had my R392 for 25 years or thereabouts.  It works well, even on SSB.

Originally I took an old tube socket apart and used the contacts to 
connect power and speaker.  Afterwards I saw that Fair Radio had the 
connectors for about $20 so I eventually got one.

I'm powering it with a surplus 24 volt voltage and current regulated 
supply.  It limits at 5 amps so the tube filaments come up gradually.  I 
built a speaker box for it that also holds the power supply and a 600 to 
8 ohm matching transformer for the speaker.

If you need any, I have some spare 26A6's.  I also have a non-working 
392 for parts.

Feel free to contact me for more conversation.
