Tube final - rare bit of nostalgia!

[john]

I have a couple of these too, with the mobile, and fixed supplies. Both 
hear well, one transmits ok, but both need new caps. Interesting rigs for 
sure. I too have a manual, if there's a need. I think I sent PDFs to Carol 
on the FT reflector just before she last shipped out.
