Alan's dynamotor sounds like the transmitting dynamotor
for the WWII ARC-5 set.  My corner of the ham radio hobby
is collecting and restoring WWII communications gear back
to stock operation. Dynamotor whine, clicking relays,
mechanical tuning shafts, what fun!  Watching the autotune
mechanism on the ART-13 do its thing is a kick.

The BD-77 dynamotor is the dynamotor for the BC-191(almost the same
as the famous BC-375) transmitter, 14 V in and 1000 Volts out.

In a much earlier ham radio life, I played with repeaters. We found that
RCA receivers seemed to do better than Motorolas in the RF department,
but Motorola had the better squelch and audio.

Tried building a UHF repeater from a GE PreProg, but the transmitter
seemed to radiate as much 147 mc energy from the tripler stage as it
did 441 mc from the antenna.

Anyone want to hear dyno whine?
I have a RADIO DYNAMOTOR A.R.C. Type 5325A, that's been sitting in my 
closet for years and years. I have no idea where I got it. But the darn 
thing still works. The date stamped on the bottom is May 4 1945. 28V @ 3.7A - 590V @ 100mA Cont
