I would like to show you some of my build out of the old days.
They are full of dust,but I like to do it and open some of them up.
The first item is a amplifier for the 10 meter band made from an old high voltage tube coming from a television,If I remeber well it makes up to 65 watts.
I had to wind the transformer for the high voltage myself ,made the enclosure myself , and all the coils,pcb , and to be precise allmost al I could made myself I did ,as the mony level was very low at that time of my life.
The joy making someting like that was great ,and now after maybe 30 years I opened the enclosure and almost got emotional.
I have to add that I started as a illigal radio amateur,after that I did some studie and went true 3 examinations to got from the lowest license to the middle and after that the A license.
