Want: Lettine 240 crystal

[Kenneth Laine Ketner]

I have about got my Lettine 240 brought back to life. Would like to
acquire a 40 meter crystal (FT 243 format) for it on 40 meter AM fone
frequency. I could go the vfo route, but seems unromantic somehow with
this little gem. Have no experience with AM but eager to get this little
rig up to give it an humble try. The rig shows specs of 40 watts input
on CW. I see 28 watts out on my Bird after I got it cleaned, de-modded,
re-capped, and tweaked, which seems pretty good. Maybe I can talk to
somebody with my 28 watts of AM without blowing a fuse or wrecking
neighborhood TV sets. The TR switchover is going to be a thrill,
however. Probably need one of those Johnson TR switches, or similar
circuit.
