Interesting and informative video.
Fascinating that after all those years, still functions so well.

I was given one of these with no damage or missing parts and it's untouched. It was working they say. I don't like working on this type of assembly but I got to do it. I have a National shortwave I have to do too. I'm just spoiled from working on printed circuit boards.

[@troytaylor1913]

I got to hook a digital frequency meter to the RF generator it is an old Heathkit tube RF generator but it still works great.

Frank's place ware can you get germanium transistor 😮

[@FranksPlace-jk7pj]

You could try ebay. There you will find everything from pulls from old equipment to new old stock Russian ones. If you want to spend money you can buy new ones but they're prohibitively expensive.

The 1l6 80$ can be subbed w 1r5 not as good 5$. 1l6 fail easily weak On hf but easily avail. Cheap i never use the ham bands anyway
