[BC] Finally getting around to the RCA 1R1 for Amateur Use

Stanley,
   Where did you pick up that big ole beast! My cousin, who owned WJZM
in Clarksville, TN (Johnny Bailey) had one of those. After the new owner
(Hank Bonecutter) took over, I went in and rob some parts from that old
rig to try to make one that I aquired from somebody else work.  I drop
the ball on that project and gave it away.

I'm looking for an old Collins 20V-3.  I just now could kick myself in
the tale for letting that old box go to South America. Those guys like
to nearly destroy the transmitter, by feeding it into an matched load.

Hey did, you ever find an old McMartin Board?  I know Jim Turvaville
knew where a few were not being used in Texas.

Scott

So I am looking for any help out there from some of the 'OM' of the 
List who have worked with this animal.

What should I look out for?  What are maintenance issues?

Will clean up and bring up on air first on commercial freq of 1460, then

Begin the conversion.  I want to use either my digital HP osc with 10
mhz
GPS standard or a separate DDS for the xtal and of course, some Jennings
variables for the output section, so I wonder if any of you guys or
someone
you know have tried it.

Always thanks for the help and be looking over the next few months for
the
WE 407 material.  It is about to get started too.

Thank you

Stan
