Knight VFO for Vintage Ham Radio Transmitter for Parts or Restoration. The piece is in decent condition, although it could benefit from a detailed cleaning. Also, the screws holding the unit into the cabinet are mismatched. This piece is believed to have not been used in many years, possibly decades. We have slowly powered it on with a Variac to allow the capacitors to reform, and have left the unit running at full voltage for approximately two hours. In that time we experienced no smoke or burning odors, and little to no AC hum. We did not test further! It is still very probable that it will need maintenance and will almost certainly require servicing which could include (but not limited to): lubrication and cleaning of controls, alignment, new components such as capacitors or tubes (if present), and so on. Unless you are capable of doing this work yourself, or have access to someone who can, we suggest you revisit the idea of whether this is the right equipment for you. This item will be packaged using our new InstaPak foam-in-bag system, ensuring the utmost protection! Bags filled with a chemical mixture expand around your item, then harden to form a protective, yet forgiving, foam barrier.
