[Milsurplus] T-368

[Ron.K3PID]

Hi Ray! There is a Yahoo group dedicated to the T3 and the BC610 where you might get a bigger response. As for the handles, I always assumed that they are to help manuver the beast on teh base and as for the base, I had to construct mine with teh help of members of teh aformention yahoo group.

If you are interested go to Yahoo.com and click on Yahoo Groups then search on T368....

  Why are their handles on the side of the T-368? Is it possible that any group of men can get together and lift it with all the drawers in place? Will the existing handles hold the weight of the transmitter together if you get six or so around it to lift the thing? I have seen the 368 in action years before running teletype in the angry twenty six, and have had the drawers open and tuned the beast but never realized they were that heavy until now that I have bought one. This one is a real basket case with just about every stage being "Ham Hacked" and looks to be about a year long project, by the way anyone have a base assembly for a 368? The last owner removed it and installed casters on the bottom of the case making all seven hundred pounds nice and unstable. Also anyone have any idea what's behind the idea of using a clamper on the PA screen instead of just biasing the PA tube into cut off? Was it to run the PA tube in a more linear state or an attempt to keep the PA voltage
    from floating too high? Or is it just a good way of developing heat when the transmitter is in standby?
