Hi Bill,<\/p>\n

Your recent stories about your TT-2 and original TT-2 “mojo transfer” prompted me to resurrect my TT-2 ‘resto’ project. <\/p>\n

The attached photos show my 70s era TT-2 obtained for $5 from a QRP-L member. This is how I received it and you can see that it’s almost a duplicate copy of the original, complete with ‘phenolic’ substrate PC board material and hand-scrawled traces. <\/p>\n

I have collected most of the components necessary to convert it to a look-alike of Doug Demaw’s 1976 item. I already have 1 or 2 of the proper Radio Shack RF chokes but lack one more to have the complete set and I’m about to grab some original Radio Shack 276-1617 transistors. The rest of the missing\/incorrect parts I can drag out of the ever expansive Snort Rosin junque box. <\/p>\n

By hand selecting the two transistors for max. power gain I hope to eek 300 mW out of the thing. <\/p>\n

Anyway, hope you enjoy the shots and I’ll send more when it’s finished.<\/p>\n
