I just picked one of these T-240-D radios up in decent condition with a black base D 104 mic for 100 bucks. Thought this was a pretty good deal. I have been looking for a tube set for quite some time now but didn't want to pay 150 for the radio and a ridiculous 35 bucks for shipping from an eBay auctioneer.
Question is this. I don't want extra channels as I don't use them on AM but I would like to bring the mod up and possibly RF out a bit more. I have never owned one before but I have heard of them being awesome rigs. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Mike

What can one reasonably see out of one of these units without damage or shortening the life? All I would need is about 4 on the DK and 10-15 on the peaks. This will make the amp kick on.

It might shorten the tube life a little bit. But it's only going to raise
the voltage about 35 to 50 volts those resistors where put in
to keep your wattage input at five watts. It uses a 6BQ7 final 12 watts plate dissipation.
Or you could just tune the Plate and Load VC901 and VC902 that should give you
a little more output that radio uses a PI-Network to match impedance
of the radio to the antenna and adjust VR-4 for your Modulation.
