    Yeah, but it was probably modded out by Tron. You don't get radios modded by Tron every day. Besides, it's not appearance that is important. It's performance.

    I don't know what the big deal is. This is my HF operating position. I actually built this using an old Curtis Mathis TV and a box of sweep tubes I found at a yard sale for 10 bucks.





    The large silver covered warming trays are converted to be 6m cavitrons.

    efficiency in a shack like that.

    Here's a shot of my RTTY operating position -



    That's what a modern and efficient station should look like.

    Nice tuning knobs but my operating attire would never pass muster in that environment.

    Tron mods are easy to come by being well published BUT having been touched by The Holy Hands of The Great and Magnificent One himself it must be considered blessed and sacred.
