I found a couple of color photos of my old antique replicas. Below is the 6L6 transmitter, which had a power output of about 12 watts. I made my own plugable coil form out of a tube socket and PVC pipe. It would run on 40 meters and 80 meters, with a change of coils.
Below is the regenerative receiver. I sent my QSL card to a ham who did a magazine article about old rigs. He sent me the old style vernier dial. So this photo shows the rig as more realistic than the rig as shown on my QSL card, since the modern vernier dial is replaced by an antique vernier dial. Using the plugable coil, the rig would work on 80, 40 and 20 meters. I need to find the original magazine article I used for these rigs.
