back to RF power tubes

Brandon SK gear:


A well-known operator passed away in 2024 and we're just now getting around to clearing out the house.
He was a bit of a hoarder, but only kept the very best junk. It was all neatly sorted but there's just so much
of it in that little house.

Most of the gear is quite old, but is the sort of thing that had to have been very valuable when it was new.
I was hoping to find some of his big "souvenir tubes", the big transmitter tubes with HANDLES on them.
I did manage to find a 4CX5000J, that'll qualify. And a big homemade transmitter with a pair of 304TLs.
