REPAIRING VALVE TECHNOLOGY
Bendix Transmitter Type TA-2J
This is an 8 channel airborne transmitter used with the RA-1B
receiver. It covers the frequency 300-600 kcs and 2.9-15.0 mcs and produces
100w CW and 20w phone. The TA-2G (fixed antenna) and TA-2H (trailing antenna)
only cover the HF bands and do not require an external antenna coupling
unit. The TA-2J was available in 12 volt (78 amps) and 24 volt (39 amps)
versions. It used the MP-10A or MP-10E (fan) power supply, which supplied
1050 volts DC for the transmitter and 250 volts DC for the receiver.
The MP-8A had only the transmitter supply. It also used the MT-34C remote
control box, MT-36C antenna coupling unit, MT-56B tx shock mount, MR-44A
atu shock mount, MT-11A flame proof morse key, and MT-42A micophone. The
TA-2J weighs 47 pounds, MP-10A 46 pounds, MT-36 coupling unit 28 pounds,
MT-34 control box 3 pounds.

Wireless Set Type A MkII ("Ack" set)
The A set or "Ack" set from the late 1920s, covers the frequency
range 150 to 400 meters (2,000 to 750khz) and has one valve (AT26)
in the sender producing 25 watts. The receiver has 3 valves (AR3), which
function as a grid leak regenerative detector and two audio stages. The
modern phonetic code is Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, ...... but in the 1920s
it was Ack, Beer, Cork, ... and that is why the Wireless Set A is known
as ACK and the C set is known as the Cork set. I recently found some parts
in a shed clean out, and they are parts of an ACK set. I found the front
panel largely complete but missing a knob and 2 meters. In another box I
found the knob, and in another the aerial meter. The owner (NP) has had the
wooden case for the set in his home, since he was a boy, and gave it to me.
IB and PK have given me other parts including the valves, knobs, a chassis
and other parts. Thank you all. Missing from the sender is the morse key,
and voltmeter. I have 1 knob and some other parts which may be part of the
receiver. In the photo, the operator is using the morse key to send code.

Wireless Set Type C MkII ("Cork" set)
The C set or "Cork" set from the early 1930s, covers the frequency
range 600 to 2000 meters (500 to 150khz) and has one valve (AT50) in
the sender producing 45 watts. The receiver has 4 valves (AR3), which
function as an RF amplifier, autodyne detector and two audio stages.
It also had a Wavemeter 'C' MkII. During a shed clean out, a friend (PK)
found the wavemeter and gave it to me. The wavemeter is in very good condition.
Also found were 2 knobs off the receiver, 2 valves, the front panel, and
2 tuning condensers.

ADVANCE PATROL BOAT
The HMAS Advance is an "Attack" class patrol boat, used by the
Australian Navy for coastal patrol and protection. This ship was used
for the ABC television series "Patrol Boat". The Advance is now a musem
ship and moored in Sydney Harbour. A friend had a 696 radio and needed
the cabling details for it, so I obtained permission, and crawaled around
on the floor of the radio room in the gloom of a hot summers day with
the ship rolling in a small swell, and etablished the connections of
the cables using a scrap of paper a pencil and a torch. The sloppy drawing
is here and some photos of the Advances antennas, and tiny radio room
interior.
