BRAIN BELCH

You know, sometimes a fellow needs?to follow his own advice.?
I have been working on an SR-160. As of this morning I had put 12 hours into it. I was getting nowhere. I spent considerable time ensuring that all alignment was perfect. Every time I turned it on it acted differently. I don't know why, but?I started wiggling
tubes. Almost every tube brought forth loud crashes from the speaker. I said to myself "Well dummy clean the tube sockets and pins".?
Guess what, I now have the sweetest running SR-160. The receiver is running 22 to 26 db s+n:n. The transmitter runs 120 to 135 watts across all three bands.
Well, that was my last rig on the shelf. So now I am looking for another project. I have not had a HT-40 on my bench for 15 or 20?years. So, I am looking for a complete unit. It doesn't need to function as long as it has not been butchered inside and has
a readable front panel. So anyone with one that has been on the back shelf for years and is willing to part with it contact me off forum.
