[HBR] WTB: Miller 1730 IF Transformers

[whitebear1122 at comcast.net]

Greetings and Happy New Year from the Frozen Tundra of Minnesota.  Brrrrr.. 

  

Want to Buy:  two Miller 1730 IF Transformers.  I've just completed a major radio sell off that consumed most of my radio time for the past 3 years, leaving my HBR project on hold.  I am now proceeding to build my HBR and I'm looking for 2 parts. 

  

I wanted to build an HBR13 but I couldn't find the Miller 1730 1800 Kc IF transformers.  I do have the 4 Miller 1709/1710 100 Kc transformers, just missing the 1730's.   So I decided to build the HBR-12.  I was recently reminded that the ARC-5 BC-454 IF transformers are 1415 Kc and can be retuned up to 1610 Kc and be substituted for the 1730's, although the BC454's are maybe 9x larger in volume.  I sought them out and have a set now and I'm dimensioning the main chassis for them.   

  

Before I start cutting metal I wanted to make one last request for 2 Miller 1730 IF transformers. Has anyone on here used the  BC454 1415Kc IF's in an HBR13 before? 

  

Thanks.  73, Scott WA9WFA
