Vintage 6 Meter Gonset Transceiver

I picked up this Gonset G50 Communicator last month, and have thoroughly enjoyed getting it back on the air again. I was lucky enough to find this still in the original box, complete with owners manual and warranty card. It looks like it saw extremely little use.

All it took to get it working was a couple of capacitors, a 5U4, and taking care of some bad tube socket connections.

I love working 6 meter AM, and was wondering if any other VK members liked repairing and using tube transceivers.
