| 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 mHz crystal which can be soldered across the crystal socket provided in the kit. The power output will be in the low milliwatt range. The author wrote an article on an experimental 12K5 amplifier that raised the power output. The article is included in the kit. |
| 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.
