Old ham who sold me the Mk.IV threw this beauty in ....recapped,few resistors and feed the tube mod and I now have an audio monster on my hands.Radio checks on Ch.19 have been positive...it seems basically brand new and still bang on freq across the dial.Keys 3W swings to 5W with full modulation.Had a Mk. I in 1975 .... not as perty as this but had the green eye tube.Bring on Channel 6
