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. The
kit includes terminal strips, solder lugs, tube sockets, wire, newly
manufactured variable capacitor, resistors and tested NOS or
import 6V6 or 6L6 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.  2 to 10 watts out
depending on the power supply.
 We have added a front panel
to this kit (May 2011). Front panel hardware and label
added at no change in price.
