Anyone ever heard of a EF Johnson 6&2M Transmit Converter?

[Garey Barrell]

Hi Ray -

The 6N2 used a 5894 which is a kind of "upgraded" 829B.  The 5894 was
"tubular" shape, and 40W plate dissipation.  The 829B was 28W plate
dissipation.  I bet there were a lot of 829B's use in the old 6N2's
though!  Surplus 829B's at $1.00 or less vs. a 5894 at probably $10
each.  What's a little plate dissipation in a Ham rig?!?!  Had a 6360
driver.

The basic unit was crystal controlled, but there was also a "6N2 VFO"
to go with it!  Boy they thought of everything!
