[Hammarlund] Fw: [Boatanchors] RE; A Solder Story

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

I've got a HQ-215, the bandspread is superb.  (In days before 1970 we used
the term "bandspread" usually to speak of an auxiliary tuning dial with a
rotation reducing gearworks attached to the shaft of a small value
capacitor which was in parallel with the main tuning capacitor which
effectively reduced the kHz change per rotation of the tuning knob.  With
the HQ-215, not only was the tuning very spread out but unusually for the
times, it was uniform from band to band.

Roger, did Eldico come out with a T-104 transmitter?  I think you mistyped
T-102, but since, I keep on trying to find the model number of the
Technical Materials Corporation 1970 to 1980s vintage receiver with phase
lock loop circuitry and early vintage light emitting diodes in a red
colored faceplate that I frustratingly worked on for hours on SS STELLA
LYKES/WPHZ. It was part of an RCA 5 kW HF radio telephone station on the
ship. I could never get the PLL to lock. I would have loved to get it
working.
