DEAR RICHARD,
I think it would be most efficient if you worked on it directly if you are
willing. I do have the original instruction manual which I used when building
it in, I think, 1964 or 65. Of course it might be easier for you to download a
PDF from somewhere if it exists. When I Googled "Instruction Manual for
Knightkit T-150" there were many hits offering free PDFs.
Let me know...
CHEERS!

Oh, golly, that's a long trip. Do you have any tools or instruments to work on
it? If so I may be able to guide you. The drift may just be inherent in the
design. Have you done any sort of web search to find out if anyone has
encountered this before? Meanwhile I will see if I can find an instruction
book.

DEAR RICHARD,
I was happy to hear that you restore vacuum tube radios! I also know that you
are a radio amateur and I think I told you that I am AA2CV and 8P6FF. I have an
old Knight Kit T-150 transmitter that is in need of restoration. Remembering
that I am retired and would have to arrange international shipping just to get
the radio to you, can you give me a hint of how many $Million you might charge
to "CLA" (LOL!!!) the T-150. One of its major problems was frequency drift.
CHEERS!

I can understand the need for the extremely high performance digital camera by
someone working in the top end of commercial photography these days. This
camera with a couple of lenses, is on the order of $80,000. If it earns its
keep its justifiable and maybe, from a competitive standpoint, necessary. If
one assumes a factor of about 10 times to figure equivalent prices c.1950 it
would still have been very expensive.
I also like "wet" or chemical photography, I enjoy it but understand the
advantages of working electronically. I long ago decided
commercial/professional photography was no fun but after thirty years in
television came to the same conclusion about that too. Advanced technology
sometimes has peculiar side effects.
BTW, another hobby is restoring vacuum tube radios. I can do that as a hobby
but much current stuff is either not repairable at all (toss it and buy a new
one) or has to be sent back to the factory.

Hi,
I shoot all analog, even trips. I just like the chemicals! As a kid
I had a Gilbert kid's chemistry set. Like all kids, the first thing I
did was make gunpowder and blow up cans. I suppose nowadays
kid's chemistry sets are toned down. I get enough digital just living.

I just purchased a Phase XF camera with a 100 MP IQ3 digital back, along with
3 new Schneider blue line lenses. I make my living with cameras like this,
and I don't expect the wedding pro or hobby enthusiast to comprehend the
purchase. It shoots in true 16 bit with a 15 stop dynamic range. It is
without doubt the most spectacular camera I've ever owned.
I spent 25 years shooting large format table top product, and the last 15
years shooting portraits and lifestyle. I can't think of one situation I've
encountered in 40 years of shooting images for ad agencies that this camera
couldn't handle as well, or better than, any camera I've ever used.
