[Milsurplus] ADT Transmitter

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Moe,

Several people on this list have one and I'll leave it to them to comment on 
experiences with it.  I sold the only one I ever had nearly 30 years ago.  It 
was a competitor to the ATC except that it only covers up to the prewar 
standard 9050 KC.  The one you've found has the standard compliment of plug-in 
tuning units.  It uses a separate 28 volt dynamotor (about the same physical size 
as those for the ATC) and control box.  Like the ATC, you can operate it 
without the control box.  It uses Cannon NK-12 connectors between the transmitter 
and dynamotor (different from the FK-10 used with the ATC) but the same U-10/U 
DC plug.  However, I'll caution anyone who gets one who also has an up and 
running COL-52286 or T-47/ART-13 and dynamotor the the plus and minus pins are 
reversed between the two sets.  So you can't use the same DC cable for both 
unless you switch the leads at the power supply end.  Should you get interested in 
it or sell it to someone else who is, I have the manual available.
