A homemade three tube AM transmitter. It works perfectly. Build one. You'll love it.

  • 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

    Thank you, sir. It's much appreciated.

    Thanks for watching.

  • 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

    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

  • Enjoyed the video...superduper !

  • @AllAmericanFiveRadio

    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

  • @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
