Oh on the anode? No its one of those old dark brown bakealite things...

Yes I was just thinking about that. Sad to see them go. I just sent them an inquiry on the tank coil.

Ah. I purchased it used dont know much about its history. Thanks for the direction Lid. I will leave well enough alone.

I did notice one thing, other than extremely dirty inside of this amp which I did clean up some.... I do not think my tank coil, that is my tank coil right, is supposed to look like this? And is there any way to clean it without harming it to remove whatever that is ...oxidation, scorching...

Wow. I had to send back a brand new MFJ 986 tuner that essentially self destructed on 1st key with my amp.... I just recently came across a used one at a silent keys estate sale for 150 bucks and took a gamble and it works perfectly! Thus I can appreciate they have had some quality issues but...

Oh I wouldn't think cleaning out the inside of the amp a bit and swapping a tube would qualify me as any kind of repair person whatsoever lol. Old tube had a chrome effect on the lower 1/4 of glass like the old 6LQ6s etc used to do. No markings left on the tube. Looks like Eimac style but no...

New penta tube installed... making the whiskeys with a LOT less drive. Also have new (old) tuner from a silent key estate sale and unlike the brand new one I bought and had to return, it works great.

Presently on ebay. I had a Marko mobile back in the day.... didnt realise they had a base!

Man I had one of those and a Marko back in the day! Nice little time capsule you have there.

That is a way cool palomar beater box. Made me miss my old one.

Will try to catch you again JJ I hope my receive improves I was in a bubble yesterday.

Had a quick contact with @unit_399 but I seem to be in a RF bubble today. WDX1863 Steve had a QSO with him no problem but I rather failed to achieve lol. Proof positive conditions are everything lol.

Enjoyed the quick contact with WDX1863 in Pennsylvania earlier. Had to turn my beam around for him to get a good contact so conditions are beating on me. Great to hear members out there.

Well, during the week I get nothing but Canadians endlessly ranting about Truedu so I suppose fair trade?

Yes Sir. Appreciated the contact. I haven't heard JJ at all today so far. I didn't have the directional pointed at you so I apologize for the less than stellar signal lol. Mother nature is being hard on my recieve as well. Have a great day out there!

Typed faster than brain was working. Corrected earlier post. I guess I'm a bit early he did say afternoon. Where you hanging out at? Just talked to 96 out of Ontario no problem, should be able to hear you.
