Well... how 'bout them apples...

This box uses the very same tubes that my homebrew ham trasmitter, "B.O.B." 
uses: A pair of 6146's modulated by a pair of 6CA7's (EL34's)! My box is also 
50 watts. Co-inkidink? Must be, as I had never seen nor heard of this 
transmitter until just now. I wonder how many (if any) of these still exist? They'd 
probably be pretty popular items for hams like me, who still enjoy the old 
firebottles for transmitting! :) Gotta love those sealed, round transformers. Nifty 
stuff!

In looking at the URL... interesting that Barry chose to name that page 
"bb.htm". (bb ... B.O.B.)

In case anyone's curious, my "B.O.B." (Bucket O' Bolts) transmitter can be 
seen here:

Many more kudos to Barry for the incredible depth of his site. We (all) 
really should make it the *first* stop in our search for B'cast info. If it ain't 
there, let's let Barry know where to find it, or scan & send it to him, and 
he'll put it there. :)
