[Milsurplus] TCK-4 and other stuff

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

If anyone is curious to look over my TCK-4, which was obviously heavily modified for RTTY, 
you can see a bunch of photos of it here.

I figure it will take a good 100 hours to get it back in usable condition, but I am really looking 
forward to getting that done.

It is horribly filthy, but basically all there.

The AM modulator was removed, and there are two built-in power supplies, both HV for the 
finals and lower voltage for other purposes. The fellow who modified it did an excellent job 
in my opinion, although I probably would have preferred it hadn't been bothered with before 
I got it.

I paid $200 for it, and a friend brought it over here from Oregon altong with two RBC 
receivers.

Thanks to Robert Downs for the important manual I have for it.

BTW, anyone have an RBB they might trade for one of my RBCs? :-)

I have two RBAs if that matters...

I also have a delightful TCM-2 which I hope to get in operation sooner. I have a photo of 
another one (not my own) on my website, along with a correction to the TCM-2 schematic 
posted there.

As far as I am concerned, the TCM-2 has more nice knobs, dials, and controls per square 
inch of panel space than any other transmitter I am aware of. And it isn't much bigger than a 
Globe King 500. It will sit on the bench, outputting about 350 watts in CW.
