this is a wonderful old rig. I have had mine since 1991 and after recapping it, it has been on the air constantly since then. Its a bear to align but it will stay on freq. very well after a 20min warm up.. It is regularly on the vintage ssb nets with the matching gsb 101 amp. and a Hammarlund hq 180a reciever. Like most old rigs it is very heavy at about 70 lbs.
