| Qrp CW TX Low Voltage Tube transmitter oscillator breadboard kit. Includes new 40 meter qrp crystal. $ 28.00 |
| 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. |
| Revised " Li'l Jay Key II " Ready Now |
| 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. |
| Click-Key II $ 10.00 micro switch controlled straight key kit. |
| Pastime Projects |
| 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. $7.00 |
| 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. . PRICE $46.00 |
