AM transmitter build - by Tim
#1

I have started a new project. Being kind of disappointed in the (so far) turn out of the mike osc, I did some research and came across a plan to build one from scratch. Sure, I could just buy a "Talking house" or some kind of kit, but what fun would that be? I kind of like the idea of something built from parts and otherwise junk pieces laying around. I am wanting to keep costs down, but don't want to skimp and end up with something that looks like a 5th grade science project! Anyway, to give credit where credit is due, I will be using a very simple circuit by Norm Leal, Tom (35Z5) and ideas from Mike Toon (ARF). 

I chose a 50's Blonder Tongue UHF tuner (useless, right??) for the project box, and sacrificed a 'barn find' PC board AA5 for some parts. The transmitter will be on 1000 KHZ, which is fairly clean in my area. I can retune it if needed with a different crystal and coils.
