My friend got his KWM 2 working with help from Ray Fantini and his video and following the instructions my friend has the set working now. He is checking the voltage and BIAS  settings but otherwise I think he's in good shape now.

Greetings All,

        While cleaning up my storage area, I come across this Microphone
Amp. Has a Contract date of 6-7-39. No tubes but other wise complete. If
anyone has a need for it, it's yours for the shipping cost. First
response gets it.

I have a friend from MY home town in Conn. who just got his general licence and has a KWM 2 that is receiving fine but there is no output. He has replaced the capacitors in the power supply using a kit design for KWM2. ?He has 800 volts at finals and he has proper bias voltages. The relays are pulling in when in the tune mode. He has scope the tune signal at the finals and he has signal there.Is there something else he should be looking for? Is there anyone in the Conn area that could look at the radio he?d be willing to drive to them.ThanksMikeW1ZFB
