[BC] AM Radio Kit

[Mike Erickson]

Hey

If you have any pics of the old processors, would love to see them on your
site!

I wasn't as resourceful as you, IIRC my home studio was a pair of Gates
turntables, 2 Technics MASH CD players, a Sanyo cassette deck, an old
Tapecaster mono cart machine, a Realistic mixer, a pair Hnat Hindes
Tri-Mazes and a modified Ramsey FM kit (transmitting on 101.5) with a custom
built antenna that still exists SOMEWHERE today.

I later got hold of an Inovonics 705 Stereo Generator to replace the stereo
generator in the Ramsey and I had a CRL SPP-800 that I ran in front of the
Hnat Hindes to tighten them up.  Sounded OK if you didn't have a heavy hand
on the processors.
