Anyone familiar with a modification for the Tram D201 that replaced the normal tube in the output section with a 6146B-8298A tube? Way back when in 1976, my father sent our Tram D201 to a guy to have it modified so that it would transmit on the "manual" tuning selection. At the same time, I remember the guy saying that he bumped up the power, but I didn't know the details. 40+ years later, I fired the ol' boy up and compared the inside of mine to pictures of units being sold on Ebay. It was then that I noticed the extra cord connected to the top of the rear most tube in my Tram's chassis. After examining that tube, I saw that it was a 6146B-8298A. The unit dead keys about 35 watts on AM according to my cheesy midland power meter. |
