Harvey Wells TBS-50 Transmitter

This will be a project! I purchased the Harvey Wells TBS-50 recently, and I don't know how much work will be needed to get it on the air, but it's a hobby, right?

This model of transmitter is the first transmitter I used as a novice. It was loaned to me and I used it until I acquired a more modern rigs. It will be fun to operate again.

The Harvey-Wells story is documented in the October, 2025 edition of QST.

Another project. I've been packing this receiver around for 55 years. It was last powered up 40 years ago. But when I was a novice in 1970 it was a gift to me, and it was paired with the Harvey-Wells to make up my first station. It will be a huge project, if I choose to take it on myself.

The Super-Pro was the gold standard of radio receivers in the late 1930s and early 1940s.
