WA3UAY - Sorry, not happening. Nothing against the ham radio hobby at all, I just don't see myself getting into it this late in the game. I have enough expensive hobbies already (radios, stereo equipment, computers). So I guess that Send-Rec switch will remain on Rec.

Russ - The fellow who sold the HQ-129-X to me included a photocopy of the owner's manual with schematic. Inside, it states that it was made for use with a 6 ohm speaker. So I figured 8 ohm headphones would be good enough for a test. It has a single ended 6V6 output so that should be good for around 2 to 5 watts, depending on circuitry.

And thirtiesradio, I failed to mention that I like your two Hammarlunds as well as that world time clock.
