Re: Sumo Charlie Tuner -- Model 700?


James Bongiorno
 

Dear Paul,
The "Charlie" was indeed a model 700. And it did not use nixie tubes but
rather LED display readouts. The faceplate was available in either black (to
match the Andromeda amp) or in Gold (to match the Model Nine amp). Be
forewarned however, as there are about 1500 Charlies out there (without the
handles) that have NEVER been properly aligned. These were brought in after
I sold the company and since the RF equipment was all my personal gear, I
took it with me when I left. They subsequently never replaced this test gear
and just sent the Charlies out as is. This is what happens when you sell a
company.

Hello James,

Is the Sumo Charlie also referred to as a Model 700?
Does the unit have an aluminum or black front panel
or was it available in both?

Did the tuner always use the nixie tube for the display?

Best regards,

Paul
