I produce a line of nice quality, inexpensive chassis for tube projects.

I've just added a new design that includes a flat deck chassis w/
countersink hardware, and some glass replacement PCBs for the Harman-Kardon
Citation II amplifier.

I'll be adding more stuff and info as time permits.

Hi Jon,

Nice kits. Are there any plans to produce tube-type (or perhaps
hybrid) UHF-FM transceivers for 70cm (440 MHz) or all-tube shortwave
communications receivers? Or perhaps replacement knobs, meters and
panels for well-known vintage receivers (communications)? I'd be
interested.

C.W.

No plans at present to do anything with a bandwidth exceeding 1 Mhz!

Cheers & best,

Now if you had some of the Citation II OPTs, you would be good to go.

Actually, I've built a 3" version of my chassis that a neighbor used for
just that purpose. I'll stick some of the finished photos on my site.

The Cit ii is a good amp, but if you have to tear one down to get the
transformers, building seems pointless. The boards are to refurb the
old ones, I surmise, but my point is, perhaps you should kit out the
Citation II.

OTOH were I to kit out an amp, I'd pointwire it.

*** I couldn't agree more!

*** I don't know if you've had the chance to work on many Citation IIs, but
it's not uncommon to find them with very toasty looking PCBs and failed
coupling or bypass caps. For those who are experienced enough to redesign
the interior for point-to-point, I say more power to them! But I think
those folks are a very small minority.

*** The glass PCB has some extra ground plane surfaces that reduce noise
compared to the stock PCB. It ain't for everyone, for sure.

*** Maybe some day I'll offer a kit. The stuff I have are just misc.
things of interest to a small number of folks.

For the record- I am NOT advocating removing the boards and
pointwiring Citation IIs or any other _desirable_ vintage amp. Usually
the chassis of PCB amps aren't suited to rewiring, at least from the
standpoint of accessibility. But if you want to be able to tinker,
learn, improve, fix pointwiring is a necessity.
