[Boatanchors] Old mobile transmitter?

[Ray LaRue]

Over 60 years ago my first mobile tx was a cheap kit called a Web 
Junior.  It was crystal controlled.  I powered it by a WW2 DM-35 
dynamotor and I used a WW2 like, carbon mike. I had to wait about 2 
seconds after keying it for the dynamotor to spin up, in order to talk!

My mentor, Andy Clark, W4IYT, helped me find it and build it up.  I used 
it with an old Gonset 3-30 converter into my Ford car radio. No receiver 
bandspred, or noise squelch, just signals and band noise.

Pretty primitive by today's standards, but it worked and provided a lot 
of fun on 10 meters.  Even while driving a "stick shift" car.

I believe Web Electronics was located in Hartford, Conn.

I wonder if anyone remembers that tx and maybe has some info on it. I 
haven't been able to find anything about it via the web.  I'd love to 
find one just for the nostalgia.

Your attention is appreciated.
Ray, W4BYG
