Absolutely! I too love the old Brownings! They were always an omnipotent key down rig!!! When the old timers I knew used to run them, people listened (they didn't have a choice )!

Very nice collection of equipment!

[chubbypigfarmer]

Back in the mid 70's the channel I talked on here in the Detroit area was dominated by the browning bunch, its kind of funny when I think back about it but the browning owners were always respected as if they had some sort of authority. Owning one myself back then was only a dream and the CB craze of the late 70's and early 80's came and went before I acquired my first one.

Stunning!!!....That is an awesome collection of radio gear there!...The condition of the Brownings etc looks to be superb, well done, you have a superb station there :D

Regards, Richie.

chubbypigfarmer great collection. If the gunk gets to heavy I may be able to help you out. I am joking If I were I would never sell. I had a heath kit 220 and I hate I sold it. The old tube amps are getting harder to come by. Does anyone still make tube amp?? I will ask it may not be the right place. Sorry

[Hookie]

you have a lot of nice stuff there(send it to me if you want)

[chubbypigfarmer]

Yes, ameritron sells amps that use the 811a tubes and there are some other amateur radio amps.

There are all kinds of tube amps out there. Ameritron, QRO Technologies, Command Technologies, Alpha, RM Italy, and others. Most use the metal ceramic tubes. The glass envelope tubes are going the way of the dinosaur.

What is the different in the new type tube and the old. I know the old did not last long if you did not know how to tube them.

[chubbypigfarmer]

Not much difference, all tube amps have to be tuned properly, or you will ruin the tubes. Alot of people think you can or should detune a tube amp butthisis the worst thing you can do, unless its a modulator type tube amp with a variable power level control and there really aren't to many of these.

[tramster]

real nice neat set up. i am also a total tube radio lover more partial to Trams although i do own all the Browning base stations, the Trams just seem more reliable. but what a nice set up. what type of antenna are you using.

[PRO151]

You Sir are a cad and a scoundrel! That is some awesome looking "Junk".

I just hope you never post pic's of your "quality" equipment, I don't know if I could stand it!

[GarnerZ]

you have a very nice collection my freind!!

[COPENHAGEN]

look good ok it's junk lol

[unit199]

I built a HEATHKIT variable tune with 3 crystal slide side switch in 1971 for my Boy Scout merit badge for electronics. Dang, that was a nice rig I had at age 11. I still can't believe that my parents let me bend a 102' whip in my bedroom and fire up for the 1st time my self made HEATHKIT unit. Well guess what ?. After going throught hte proper tuning sequence that was explained perfectly in the manula and by local CB guru at the time , Mr. Dave Faraca, I was "on the air" and have never looked back. My LAST Tube RIG was a PALOMAR SKIPPER 73 "C" 23 CHANNEL CHROME EXTERIOR beauty. Oh my Gosh did I love that rig . It was SSB , both USB and LSB, and its AM section was clean as a whistle. I ran that through a SWAN 1200-"X" and boy oh boy, even through an OMNI directional ANTRON 99 located directly on Manhattan Beach, I was able to talk all over the Pacific Rim almost every night of the Solar Cycle of 2000 ,(Winter esepcially....since the last time I talked skip was 1974 and 75 in the Midwest.)
Cheers to all the fellow CBRT members who are out there who also participated in the birth of the art of radio over the 1970's. Cheers,
Unit 199 and i'm GONE......
