With summer wrapping up here in MN and moving into fall I looked around my shack for a 80/40 mtr transmitter to use with my
NC-57 (and
here). A likely pairing is with my 6AG7 Beginner Transmitter. Both would have appealed to a brand new novice in the early 50s.
Here's the construction information on my version of this transmitter: http://wiegandfamily.org/6AG7_Xmtr/1951Transmitter.htm
