Am still tweaking my Knight TR-106.  Found a second
12-pin connector at the Fest this morning so I will
have both an AC and a DC cable.

Have located a second V-107 VFO so I can add a dual
tube buffer which I may modulate for DSB.

Were I to find a third V-107 I'd mod that for FM!

Also found a matching amp.  It reportedly has a problem --
it "blows fuses with the tubes in it".  It, of course,
does not do so when the current owner pulls the tubes.
Anyone seen this before and have a suggested cure?

Am still looking for a matching blue Knight microphone.

Thanks! & 73,
