[Milsurplus] EG-3 motor generator set for ??

[Ray Fantini]

Early or pre TBX-8 radios that used the 34 tubes required very little battery power so the receiver had a separate power that only had to provide under 10 mA on the B+ and less than 400 mA  for the filament. The radio I had was capable of running for hours on the battery pack that I put together for its receiver. The transmitter required 12 volts at around an amp and the 500 volt source for the plate and screen of its signal tube so you only needed those two voltages when transmitting.
Would assume that provided a radio that with the hand crank generator required a minimal amount of equipment when used in the field.

The EG and EH were for the TBX transmitter. For unknown reasons, with one late exception all of the power supplies for the TBO and TBX Series were for only the receiver or only the transmitter. The exception was the CRF-20337 12VDC Vibrator Power Supply, for the TBX-7 and TBX-8.
