Cheapest piece of ham gear I ever bought if you figure it by weight. It's
the old ARRL 2 x 813 grid driven "single band kilowatt" design, purchased
from an estate sale, probably built around 1970. I've improved it some by
putting in solid state voltage regulators in the grid and screen supplies.
And adding 160.

BTW I used a 2.5 mH plate choke when I built the 160 m deck. No science was
involved. I grabbed it from the junk box, said to myself "this looks about
right," and that was all.
