It was sold to me on e-bay as working the last time I tried it, or something to that effect. After cleaning off most of the cigarette tar off of the front panel, I plugged it in. It makes noise on receive, but there was no meter deflection. I plugged in a mic and crystal, and no meter deflection on transmit, either. So, for the first time, I pulled it out of the case, and discovered that the front panel S meter was disconnected, and another meter was haywired into the circuit, and left hanging over by the 2E26 final amplifier tube. I checked the original meter, and it reads open circuit. Since Clegg is long gone, and the original meters are unobtainable, who might be around that could rebuild this unit? It is an edgewise Emico meter. Then, I need to clean it up, and get rid of some strange mods done a long time ago by the looks of things. Help?

There is some interest in 2 meter AM here locally once again, so I thought I would try to get this rig operational once again. It is dirty, and there are some strange and undocumented mods done to it. But, I can reverse those, and clean it up.
