"That 70s Show": Steve "Snort Rosin" Smith Restores a 70's era Tuna Tin 2
Hi Bill,
Your recent stories about your TT-2 and original TT-2 "mojo transfer" prompted me to resurrect my TT-2 'resto' project.
The attached photos show my 70s era TT-2 obtained for $5 from a QRP-L member. This is how I received it and you can see that it's almost a duplicate copy of the original, complete with 'phenolic' substrate PC board material and hand-scrawled traces.
I have collected most of the components necessary to convert it to a look-alike of
By hand selecting the two transistors for max. power gain I hope to eek 300 mW out of the thing.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the shots and I'll send more when it's finished.
