Great!!! A buddy gave me a 40-81. It's a battery only set. The battery cable is still in good shape and I was thinking of using that little p/s I built for the Crosley Tridyn. It has an adjustable regulator for the filament supply. Will do 1.2v to about 5v under load. Did make a replacement leather handle original was shot.

Oh so yous guys really want to come over to the city dump! It actually changed quite a bit since you where here last. The whole upstairs has been rebuilt with new walls, carpet, marble counters, took out the wall between the kitchen/dining room ect,ect,ect. But basement and shed are a disaster!!! All of the extra stuff ended up in those to places in a hurry during the remodeling.The workmen kanda stacked a lot of the downstairs. At that time I wasn't doing so well and didn't here the energy to do it myself. Maybe I can pawn off some stuff to yous guys.
If a few of you want come over that's fine but don't necessarily want the whole Phorum over.
