This transmitter is owned by W0HIO and is yet to be restored. It looks like it came right out of Frank C. Jones' Radio Handbook. It is a 100W, AM/CW transmitter, and for the most part, looks to be of late 1930s origin. It is about 6 feet high. Referring to the pictures of the back of the transmitter below, the transmitter consists of the following sub-units: starting at the bottom is the HV power supply for the final and the PS for the exciter stage. A marking on the HV terminal indicates 1000 VDC was available for the final. The modulator deck is the next unit up. The final was modulated by a pair of 807s. Above the modulator is a bias supply and some antenna relay switching circuits. Immediately above the bias supply is the exciter and final, which reside on the same chassis. The exciter is crystal-controlled, with a switch brought out to the front to select the crystal. The exciter looks like it had a tube for the main oscillator, and a tube for the doubler. These were not present. The driver to the final consists of an 807. Through a process of elimination and by the details of the final circuit, it was concluded that the final tube was an 35T. Immediately above the final/exciter unit is an ARC-5 transmitter and a power supply for it. The ARC-5 was not connected in any way to the lower decks, and seems rather out of place. Obviously, this portion is post-WW2. The ARC-5 was link coupled to an antenna tuner which is at the very top of the transmitter.
W0HIO plans to get the transmitter running on 40 meter AM.
