[Milsurplus] TBW Transmitter

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Greg,

I have a hard copy reprint of NAVSHIPS 900,246 on TBW and TBW-1 available 
for $26.85 plus shipping.  I also have the single-sided preliminaries on the 
TBW-4 and TBW-5 but the only differences are the nameplates and a slight 
change in the operating chests was made at TBW-2.  The preliminaries are both 
single-sided mostly typewritten pages, although the foldouts were properly 
done.  Only one photo in them.  The NAVSHIPS is a better manual.

The TBW's consist of an MF and an HF transmitter and a rectifier-modulator 
common to the two.  Input to the rectifier is 115 VAC 800 CPS.  The 800 
cycle power was supplied by a gasoline powered generator  or a 115/230 VAC 25 or 
60 CPS M-G Set.  I have a manual on the gasoline generator by itself.
