Knight T-60


Here is a little Knight T-60 novice transmitter I picked up. Its a little rough, but there is no rust and looks to be all there. The T-60 is an 80-6 meter AM/CW transmitter. 60 watts (input) crystal or VFO controlled. If anyone has any crystals they are willing to part with I need some. I am interested in the CW portion of the bands. (my favorite mode) I think if I can get 20-30 watts out on 40 meters this would be a fun little transmitter.


A capacitor has been replaced with several in series (electrolytic on the right) I know someone has done mods and or upgrades to the unit. This means going back to the schematics and doing a virtual rebuild to make sure it was built correctly, and to see what has changed from the original build.

Here is the under side of the chassis, a lot of work to be done.


The back side. Notice the inside of the SO-239 is crumbling away.


Looks bad eh? Well more to come as I progress through this one.
