[Boatanchors] Old mobile transmitter?

[K5MYJ]

Several years ago I found a copy of the old ARRL "Mobile Handbook". There is 
a lot of information on this type of rig in this book.

I have an old Gonset mobile converter I had planned to use with an old 
vibrator type car radio but I did not have any luck finding one.

In the 1950's I had an AM Mobil transmitter in a 3X4X5 box. The final was a 
6AQ5 and used the HV from the vibrator receiver.
