[SBE] KWSU

[Clay Freinwald]

Hi Dan- 

 

I will forward this on to the WSU-Crew.Perhaps the date can be more firmly
established.

 

Sorry about the typo re. the age.

 

Please pass the word on for those that might have some of the tubes we need.

 

RCA used the 5762 in their TV transmitters as well, perhaps there are some
laying around some 'video-factories'

 

Regards, 

 

Clay Freinwald

Hello Clay,

 

I hope this note finds you doing well.

 

Broadcasting & Cable Yearbook 2010 claims KWSU has a born-on date of June,
1922.  While that's not a definitive source, in cases where I've pulled FCC
on-file historical data, they've consistently been correct with the year and
usually correct with the month.  

 

Dan

HELP WANTED

 

My major employer, Washington State University, WSU, has an AM station

KWSU-AM- 1250- that will be 90 years old  shortly.

 

One of the goals is to put the previous main transmitter on the air during

the celebration.    Mind you, this is not their first transmitter, but

the one they operated prior to the present rig. I'm talking about a  rather
nice condition RCA BTA-5T.

 

The rig is intact except for the built in RFA assembly that someone  Removed
for some reason.

 

In addition to the above, I am looking for spare tubes (they have

None) Here's a list of what it uses -

 

5762

3X3000F1

4-125

6146

5763

6AK5

2E26

 

Of course, any spares that you might have would be appreciated.  I have To
believe that there are some of these items, growing a layer of dust, Out
there somewhere.

 

Unfortunately we have no budget to purchase these items, However, we  might
be able to come up with shipping costs.

 

Thanks, in advance, for your assistance.

 

You can contact me via email, or phone -
