[Milsurplus] My Latest Project ART-13/B AM Transmitter

[John Hutchins]

Todd -
I am going out on a limb. The slick-est home brew AC power supply/Mount 
I have ever seen is one made by a guy in Brazil; Mounted the ART-13 on a 
~4" or 5"tall box covering the depth and (width + few inches out on the 
left side) of the transmitter that contained the AC HV/LV power supply, 
with a blower fan sucking in on the front side blowing out under the 
modulator/Output PA tubes.  Just a thought, not like the original setup 
but more thoughtful.
