The BC-610 was a large HF AM transmitter built by Hallicrafters with a pair
of 250-TH tubes or something similar in the PA. Just the power transformer
alone weighed over 100 pounds. The entire transmitter probably weighed 500
or 600 hundred pounds.
Anyway.... WHAT is the "610" that started shipping today?????
