[Morrow] Any life on here?

[rkofler at aol.com]

Hi Bob, there is indeed some life on here, but not much. This is the first post on here in a long time. I have the Twins and the desktop power supply/speaker that I restored some time ago. I use them sometimes, mostly on 40M AM, they work just fine. If that is the RTS-600S power supply/speaker, I think they are very rare because most people used the twins mobile. I have a price list from 1957 and this setup was about $600 then. That is a lot of bucks in today's dollars. If you need to repaint the panels, I'm sure you are pleased to see the lettering is engraved, so no stick on letters necessary. This stuff was ahead of its time. I live about 40 miles from the long past home of the Morrow Radio Co. and when I started in radio in the late 50s, Ray Morrow was prominent on the Ham scene here. When you get your stuff working, maybe we could try for a sked on 20M. 

Good Luck and 73
Roger K7DDG

This is Bob, W1ICW in Northwestern VT.

I'm halfway through restoring a pair of twins, the MB-6 and MB-565 as 
well as the companion AC power supply. I'd love to know if there are 
others out there using these rigs, how you all like them, any quirks, or 
other anecdotes about them. Any websites I should know about? Google is 
really short on the number of hits on a search for Morrow, so I begin to 
get a sense of just how rare and special these rigs are.

I got lucky enough to find a really decent pair on eBay last fall and 
I'm absolutely hooked on them since.  Absolutely a design ahead if it's 
time.

Best 73 de Bob W1ICW
