In honor of Skip's project I grabbed a Gooney out of the garage and started on it. Replaced some caps cleaned it up a bit and was rewarded with a working set that makes about 30w of AM. A buddy has some knobs for it. Still needs some more cleaning and a volume control. Band conditions up on 10mtrs are pretty poor so I'm in no big rush. It's circa 1958, that's a change most of the time I'm younger that the sets I've been working on!
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
