"Oral?"

@uriituw Fuck You have a nice day. 

[RadioChief52]

I had a pair of these at WBRC in Birmingham, Alabama in beautiful condition.

Did you really say "The vacuum leaked out" of the vacuum cap?

More like the air leaked in, don't ya think? ;-)

[contrapezist]

@nakayle leaked down, gone soft... I suppose next thing your going to tell me is light bulbs dont suck dark they emit light.

[widecast]

@nakayle I think it's quite correct. When a bucket of water leaks you don't say the air leaked in, you say the water leaked out. Don't you think?

[nakayle]

@widecast Poor analogy. Water is tangible- if leaks out you can put it in a bottle and keep it. Vacuum not tangible- it's a lack something- it's "nothing". You can't put "nothing" in bottle- so how can "nothing" "leak out"?

If you still need transistors for the IPA I have a bunch of them.

What happened to the transmitter after you went to digital?

[digitalmasterdata]

cool

[iloverush123]

After watching several video of old transmitters I now have an obsession with large vacuum tubes. Is that normal?

[contrapezist]

@iloverush123 No your just weird.

The largest tube I own is an RCA 891-R out of the modulator of an RCA 5-D circa 1930's

I just love the smell in these places

[drradio2003]

god could any one under stand that? freeland rebuilds them good.

[contrapezist]

Had good luck with freelend in FM's and plate mod AM. Linear service forget it junk, linearity stinks, efficency stinks, filament problems after bake in. Save your money buy a new one from Eimac, Econco has gone to hell since Manny left they still have the blessing of CPI even tho nothing but crap has rolled out the door since last year.
