[Milsurplus] RCAF TA-12 photo

[George Babits]

That's because I had about 10 nice TA-12Gs and nobody wanted to pay even 
$100 for one.  Real shame but the roller inductors and capacitors are worth 
a good bit more.   Saved a pair in the hopes of putting one on the air 
someday.  I have the dynamotor/modulators and connectors too.  Anyway, I had 
an AT-12 as well, so knew the visual difference.  Really nice transmitter, 
but it had been badly hacked beyond restoration when I got it.  I think it 
would have been fun trying to put one on the air.  E\

73,
