[NCDXA] Fwd: Top 10 Early 60's Ham Transceivers

[Kris Uebersax]

Hello,

I still have my Novice equipment from 1967.   The receiver is an RME 
6900 which my dad purchased for me for about $90 used. (This was in the 
day when one was doing well if they made $100/week.  Dad was an 
engineer.   I think that is about what he made at the time.   Hard to 
imagine.)   This receiver has lived in various non-climate-controlled 
attics since 1968.   It still powers up.  I can still hear signals but 
the amplification is practically gone.

The transmitter is a Knight T-60 which I built from a kit.    It no 
longer powers up.  I seem to have lost the crystals.

Does anyone know of someone who enjoys fixing these old radios? I would 
get a big kick out of operating with them again.

73, Kris
W3XG   (WN3HXG in 1967)
