I picked up a Bud National piece of HAM gear for parts as it was not working and had many burn marks underneath. It was extremely large and heavy.

Lots of Kenyon and thordarson iron chokes etc.
2 x meters
2 x 866a which are good.
2 x 812 which had plates that had melted abit and pinched(scared of that)
1 x 5u4 good
1 x 807 good
Lots of metal can tubes even a 6l6.
Lots of heavy duty wirewound resistors.

I just got through stripping the large metal chassis primed it and painted it silver hammertone. Have to redo the top but It will make a good amp chassis someday.

High sensitivity, wide dynamic range, low distortion, and smooth frequency response. Pwk
