FYI slide switches.

I still have Heathkit equipment like my AR15 stereo am/fm receiver that has slide swithches. I built this amp in 1961 and the slide switches still working including the power slide switch in my SB-200 linear. If the slide switch is a good quality they will last many years.

Raymond,

You reminded me that I also have some old stuff with a slide switch -- I remember that my Eico 720 transmitter has a slide switch for VFO/Crystal usage. But, I have never used that slide switch, I have no idea if it works or not. It is in the crystal usage position -- I never did have a VFO.

I used my Eico 720 (1960 through 1965) in both positions once I 'graduated'
from the Novice class in 1961.

I had three crystals on 40 Meters which tripled to 15 Meters that were used
in the CW bands.

I constructed the Knight Kit VFO for use in the 'phone bands together with
the Eico 730 plate modulator.

The 6146 final produced a great 65 Watts of plate modulated AM
transmissions.

Memories!!!!!!!!!!! But I sure wouldn't trade my K3s and accessories for
that setup.

73 de Milt, N5IA, aka KN5FPO and K5FPO in those days.

Well, I didn't graduate from the Novice class until 2004. My Novice license expired when I was in college ('67) and my interests were primarily physics & math & girls in various priority order -- no room for ham radio until I was an old man of, now how old was I -- 56 in 2004 at the time of license (Tech & General) passing in February.
