Hello all, I wasn't sure which forum to put this under but here goes. One of the hobbies that carried over from my Firefighter days is collecting vintage radios and associated equipment. I recently picked up what the Ebay seller listed as a Peerless signagraph or that type of code trainer. It's the type that uses the reel of paper tape with holes punched in it. There were only a couple of photos and the item did look like what it was described as. What I got was this, Someone many years ago had taken the top reel to reel drive from a peerless signagraph and installed it in a handmade box and cobbled together an AC powered, single tube oscillator with an on/off volume switch, a speaker and some other rotary switches that I have no idea what they are for. The tape drive is ok but everything else is in too bad a shape to use. What I want to do is construct a nice new box for the drive and install an oscillator kit along with a small amp kit meant for cigar box amps. The reason I want to do it this way is the amp kit comes completely pre-wired with a headphone jack, on/off volume switch, speaker and leads, gain control, and 9 volt battery clip and leads. I have seen a number of pre-built oscillator kits but I don't know which one would work best with this configuration. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Robert/ KM4ORN
