 I never owned or used an AMECO TX-62 transmitter, but it seems that many were manufactured judging from the number of units seen on eBay, etc. The matching VFO is the VFO-621 model, which also supports 220 Mc transmitters. The small boxes atop the transmitter are AMECO BIU swr bridges. The microphone show is a ubiquitous Turner desk microphone in stainless steel finish. |

 AMECO AC-1 Transmitter
I believe that my unit is a later version because:

On March 10, 2003, I received an AC-1 that I
bought on eBay. I removed a metal box and meter someone had grafted onto the side.
This might be a good idea to help tune up, but it will work fine detached. I only noted
one cold solder joint. I have derusted and painted the transformer. The chassis has a few
rusty spots, but is good enough. The line cord was good, but needed a plug installed.
Also, the tubes are military surplus (not AMECO). I sure wish they were
original. I have since added an AMECO R5 receiver and AMECO CPS code practice
oscillator/monitor to form a station. A Pennwood Numechron Tymeter and a JJ-30 key
round out the station. I have added an AMECO LN2 low pass filter and Johnson TR switch to
this station since taking the picture.
