I am trying to find the TU that was in the early 70's handbook and used 
TV width coils.  I built that when I bought my 32KSR from Van. I only 
made one mistake building it.  Seems ARRL did not warn me that lack of 
high voltage would stop a tube converter from working! It also took me 
quite a while to figure out that to key the loop and get fsk voltage I 
had to add a keyer stage.  I used that converter for a couple of years 
then bought a ST6 kit and used that for several years.

Thank you for the memories.
