I had forgotten.I'll try to find that photo and if I do, I'll post it here.My T-350-XM as grey.There is some fellow in, I believe, California, who has a large collection of T-350-XM transmitters and parts.I have his address here somewhere, but haven't seen it in years.Ken W7EKBSent via the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone-------- Original message --------From: Paul Thekan <pfthekan at gmail.com> Date: 6/2/24  14:58  (GMT-08:00) To: Ken <kgordon2006 at frontier.com> Subject: Re: [Milsurplus] Big Ham Estate Sale in Media, PA. Ken The T-350 is a very well built xmtr using very good components . I have the preamp for it and unfortunately mine was missing all the tubes. The manual shows a pair of 805s in the modulator.  My cabinet is green like the one pictured at the sale. Most pics I have seen of others who have this xmtr the cabinets are gray. My understanding is those were used on Navy destroyers .The green ones I presume were used by the British in the Pacific, Burma I believe.Ken , would love to see that pic you have of the T-350s in the army instalation.

Power supply is in the bottom section and is not obvious in the photo. Power supply has two chokes in it, one a swinging choke. That choke failed in mine and I replaced it with a standard choke. Uses 866 mv rectifiers, which I thoroughly despise. I replaced those with 3B28s.I got a brand-new one through MARS and loved it. I gave it back to MARS when I left Missoula, Montana in about 1979.The state MARS director traded it to a member in California for a B&W T-368.I would rather have had the TechRad. I sure wish I still had it.I sure hope that whoever gets that appreciates it. I heard that most of those manufactured went to the Brits in Africa and were mounted in trucks as part of a mobile comm station.Ken W7EKBSent via the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone-------- Original message --------From: Francesco Ledda <frledda at att.net> Date: 6/2/24  13:26  (GMT-08:00) To: Gary Hitchner <talgarth at comcast.net> Cc: milsurplus at mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Milsurplus] Big Ham Estate Sale in Media, PA.
