6V6 transmitter kit as seen in Jan '08 QST $58.00
This is a carefully planned and designed replica of a
late 1940's design code (CW) 'home brew' transmitter. This kit
includes Amish prepared oak slats and end blocks. You
assemble with supplied instructions and brass plated flat head
screws. The kit includes terminal strips, solder lugs, tube
sockets, wire, newly manufactured variable capacitor,
resistors and tested and warranted 6V6 vacuum tube, and a
very detailed step by step manual. Will operate on 80 or 40
meters by changing the hand wound coils.  Uses FT 243 type
crystals.  Will put out 2 to 10 watts depending on the power
supply. Current supply limited.

PPS-1 Companion Power Supply Kit     $ 99.00
ALL NEW COMPONENTS -
$99.00
The PPS--1 power supply includes sold oak slats and end
pieces that form the "chassis" with brass plated flat
screws for that vintage look. 120 VAC primary voltage.
Output as supplied approximately 200 VDC max.
Transformer rated at 250 VCT @ 130 ma and 6.3 VAC @ 2A.
Features 19 page manual with illustrated step by step
instructions.  Features fused input, transformer isolation,  
filter choke and filter capacitors, a bleeder resistor,  
indicator lamps in the filament and hv circuits, Use the
power supply kit for your favorite tube type transmitter or
receiver. This kit requires assembly, soldering, and testing
and builder familiarity and experience with high voltage
circuits.
New straight key Kit for cw (code) transmitting. Key uses a micro
switch for the contacts. Micro switch contact life runs anywhere
from 100,000 to 1,000,000 closures. Thats a lot of cw! The use of
micro switches is not new to cw keys, but some of the other
features of this switch make it worthwhile to the beginner or to
the expert/collector. Might make a great presentation gift for your
club. Includes a solid oak base, oak saddle for the switch
housing, and a clever mix of household items that truly make
this a conversation piece. Use it next SKN. This is a kit, and will
go together easily. There is a couple solder joints, some screws
and spacers to install and adjust, and, of course the knob
assembly itself.

This kit is based on an article in May 2006 CQ Magazine entitled
"Look Ma - No High Voltage" It is a milliwatt range vacuum oscillator kit
assembled breadboard style using a new old stock vacuum tube that uses 12
volts dc on both the filaments
and the plate. Great safe way to learn about
vacuum tube operation. The new old stock 12K5 tube is included in the kit. It
has been tested and is warranted. Also included is a 16 page manual written
by the author, a pre-wound 40 meter coil, a spare plastic coil form and a new
7.03 or 7.04 crystal which can be soldered across the crystal socket provided
in the kit. The author wrote and article on an experimental amplifier that
raised the power output. The article is included in the kit. There is no
guarantees on the power output of this kit.

This new revised key has a small dowel through the saddle and
rocker beam to reduce side sway. Features that make
assembly easy include an oak 'saddle' already glued in place
on the base; all holes are drilled and the connectors are
soldered and assembled. This is a simple project that results in
a useful key for beginners as a first key to encourage Morse
code understanding.

This Ohio USA Manufactured Kit  includes an oak "chassis", two
tubes, and all parts and wiring needed to assemble this kit. Very well
illustrated manual. Supply any 12 volt DC at 1 ampere or more power
supply, then connect your favorite crystal set, regenerative receiver,
Walkman, or any headphone device in and hear the output through a
low impedance (4 or 8 ohm) speaker .The sound output is soft (quiet
room level) mellow, and illustrates the magic of vacuum tube
amplification. The amplifier now includes a volume control and knob
with hook up instructions. All resistors are now color identified for
your building convenience. You provide common  interconnecting
cables and 8 ohm speaker and 12 volt power supply.  With tubes
tested and warranted. .
