[Milsurplus] the Japanese Chair and the 803

[Ray Fantini]

Yes, it was my mistake. Somehow I confused the 803 and the 813 but as I eluded to in an earlier post I make at least three mistakes a day and apparently that was one! Funny thing is that I used a TBW for around five years and after construction of the AC power supplies, addressing the chirp issues and doing a lot of work on and making a ton of contacts with that radio I still am prone to make a mistake. The 803 has always been a favorite tube being all of them I have come across in the past years have always been good working tubes and have yet to run into one that did not work. Can see why they used them in the GO, TBW and TDE along with multipole ones in the TCK and other transmitters and yes it is suppressor modulated and not screen modulated, that makes it two mistakes in one day. Wonder what the third one was? Well today is a new day and a new opportunity to make additional mistakes.
Anyone reading this with a desire to see a TBW at work can look at a YouTube video I posted some years back of my transmitter:

No...I did not write that.  I quoted and responded to that.
