NOT A CLONE -- THE CLASSIC ORIGINAL AC-1NO RESERVE
WORKS!
ABSOLUTELY GREAT CONDITION
IF NOT AS ADVERTISED, RETURN IT
IN THE 1950'S AMECO INTRODUCED ITS ONE TUBE (PLUS A RECTIFIER) TRANSMITTER FOR .95. WHAT A BARGAIN! THE HEATHKIT AT-1 WAS SELLING FOR 29.95 SO THIIS RIG APPEALED TO LOTS OF COST CONSCIOUS HAMS. BACK IN THOSE DAYS THE AC-1 CAPTURED THE ESSENCE OF HAM RADIO -- BUILD IT YOURSELF, HAVE AN EXPOSED CHASSIS WITH NO CABINET, GET BY WITH LOW POWER, ETC. ETC. USING A 6V6 IT HAD A POWER INPUT OF 15,000 MILLIWATTS! REALISTICALLY FIGURE ABOUT HALF OF THAT AS OUTPUT.
THIS ONE IS A BEAUTY. ALL TOO OFTEN HAMS HAVE "IMPROVED" THIS CLASSIC BY ADDING EXTRAS TO IT -- METERS, KNOBS, MODS, ETC. ETC. THIS ONE IS ORIGINAL. I FOUND NO MYSTERY WIRES, HOLES OR PARTS.
I BOUGHT IT UP SLOWLY WITH A VARIAC AND IT CAME TO LIFE. GOT A GOOD SIGNAL OUT ON 40 METERS. NO RUST, CORROSION, CHIPS, ETC ON THE UNIT.
SALE INCLUDES THE TRANSMITTER AND A 40 METER COIL -- OTHER COILS ARE READILY AVAILABLE ON EBAY.
THAT'S IT. NO RESERVE, GUARANTEED TO WORK OR YOU RETURN IT. (DOMESTIC SALES ONLY) YOU SUPPLY THE KEY AND CRYSTALS. LOTS AND LOTS OF SCHEMATICS AND INSTRUCTIONS OUT THERE SO I WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY REPRINTS.
WILL SHIP USPS. INTERNATIONAL SALES VIA THE GLOBAL SHIPPING CENTER.
