So much potential but so little interest.......

I found this in my basement the other day when I was moving things in order to do some plumbing work. My basement is a disaster area and every once in a while I have a EUREKA!! moment when I find something useful that I had forgotten all about. This definitely falls into that category. I forgot all about having been given this about a decade ago. Back then I had visions of a homebrew AM transmitter but that interest has since waned somewhat. Nevertheless it was a EUREKA!! moment as I blew the dust off the crate it was in and reached inside to pull out the paperwork that was inside for the first time since I had it. Anyone remember of Hershel Radio Co. from Detroit Michigan? It must be really old because when was the last time you saw an RCA modulation transformer for a kilowatt input AM transmitter on special for $14.95 down from the outrageous price of $19.95? :laugh:

I should put it on Ebay as NIC (New In Crate) Never used nor removed from shipping crate. At 40 pounds I could make a second killing gouging the buyer for shipping charges too. :laugh:

Yes...yes I did actually. There was a hill between home and school that I had to walk up regardless which way I was going. Up one side and down the other. It was steep too. As for working at an AM site it was only 22 years however.

Dagnabbit!!

Nice find lol. Dont you love it when you find something buried in your own stuff.

Was digging in some of mine yesterday and found a Clegg 99'er. Picked it up a few years ago and forgot all about it.
Think I will do a repair video on it.
