Ed,
If you want to do more things with tubes you have lots of choices
but may I suggest building a true clone of the PARASET, or
Philmore NT-200 Novice transmitter.? These won't be fast or cheap
if you want a true clone but they are fun to build and use.?
Besides they hold lots of history.? There is a lot of support for
the PARASET .? The NT-200 puts out a very usable signal.? Both for
the most part can be reproduced with parts after doing some
scrounging.? Refurbishing a transmitter such as a Heathkit DX-60
can be interesting and fun and actually cost you less then doing
one of the two above suggestions.? Here you would replace poor
tubes, replace out of spec resistors and caps such as tubular
paper ones as well as the electrolytic capacitors.? Then clean the
radio, controls and switches.? Sometimes repaint transformers and
covers too.?
Lee, w0vt?

Sent some pictures of the Ugly Weekender
Transceiver I built in 2014. I'd like to have more projects to
send but I have no photos of them (for some damn reason). I want
to do more things with tubes.
