My version of the Rick McWhorter (AllAmericanFiveRadio) AM Transmitter.

John,

I've watched this and Rick's video and I am thinking of building this. What did you use for the chassis? Did you have the base made?  Thank you, Tony

@railcruzr1,

Tony,

Good for you...give it a try.

I got a 16 x 8 x 3 inch aluminum chassis from Radiosupply (dot) com...part number HE1444-28. Current cost is $26.91. Aluminum is easy to drill and punch holes in for the tube sockets. But you won't need a chassis that large. In fact, if I were to do it again I'd first check Wal-Mart for a cheaper, somewhat deep aluminum cake pan. I've seen many a homebrew item having a cake or bread pan for a chassis.

Regards,

John

John, Thanks for the info...that puts me one step closer to building this thing....I'll post a video of the project when I get it completed someday. In the middle of a restore of a Philco 40-180 for my in-laws. Then I have to get back to my Zenith 9S262 that has been on the back burner for over a year now, then the AM Transmitter. I'm sure I'll have questions along the way. Thanks again! Tony

Sounds great John! Once again, I enjoy your videos very much and hope you continue making them.

@raymanretro,

Thanks again, my friend. I plan to keep making vids as long as I'm able and Youtube will allow me to upload them.  It's a fun thing to do.

Do come again and please keep watching.

Regards,

John

Same thing happened here in Texas. Enjoying the cool down!!!! Love sleeping with the windows open.

@GeoN0JRJ,

Don't you just love a good cool-down suprise? In all the years I've lived in Arkansas I can't recall it happening like that. But hey...no complaints.

Thanks for stopping by.

Regards,

John

Great job. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

[joernone]

@ncautoman57

Thanks. I like making and posting these videos even though not too many folks are interested. It's really too bad. So much can be learned from Youtube videos. It's like free college.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.

Regards,

John

That is so cool!!

[joernone]

@sackett68

I wholeheartedly agree...it is cool. I wanted one of these transmitters the instant I watched Rick's Youtube video about it. It took a while, but it's finally here. I like it a lot.

Thanks for your kind visit.  Please stop in again.

Regards,

John

Hey John,

So glad you have completed the transmitter and it is working great for you. It is a big accomplishment building a transmitter from scratch and getting it working. And I didn't think you had that much trouble with it. Very nice radios too.

Regards,

Rick

Rick,

Each hour it seems to be transmitting better and better. I can't tell you how happy I am with its performance. The audio is so clear. Who needs store-bought Chinese crap, huh?

Had you not posted your transmitter video, I would not have this one today. Thanks, my friend.

Regards,

John
