I only roll my own.....unless maybe you are local to Detroit. There is a guy who calls himself Amp Repair Guy who is decent.

slightly more efficient, which would also mean slightly more power out and more dependable as the problematic band switch would be bypassed.

Elimination of switches in the RF and high voltage paths is always a good thing.

@@tramdr Thanks for the response. One last question, is the mod as simple as leaving four turns of the existing coil, removing the band switch and reconnecting the remaining coill to the other variable cap?

Is there any chance we could talk so you can talk me through this mod?

Is sharing information proprietary among technicians. Often it's difficult to get valuable information from experienced techs?

Thanks, but been there done that. Actually, back in the day, I read everything I could find on them. Yep, they are sharp, closer to an ideal shape than anything else at the time. At one time, one of my goals was to have 1 of every CB radio made that had them. Tram Titans, Tram Corsair, early Browning Mark II's and some late Mark I's if I remember right, Courier Royale, Regency GT and a few more I can't think of. It was said that the very early GE Superbase had them, but I have never seen one in person or the net that had one. Also, when Collins went out of business, Rockwell bought Collins out and made and sold the filters to the military for a very high price. Once the price skyrocketed, CB makers couldn't afford to put them in and that was the end of the Collins in CB's.

Thanks, I Likkie shiny!

Thanks and same.

I do too, but I got a spot for all tube Brownings and Trams.

Thanks, Tim, Happy Holidays.

Thanks, Happy Holidays!
