Those rig photos bring back similar memories with the exception that my FT-243 SSB filter was on 5285KHz (and still have those crystals - saw them recently) in my low power solid state 14MHz transceiver and my 6M circa 1975 transverter - both used similar devices and Philips beehive trimmers. { Not sure how you get 10W from a 2N5589 though, I used the 2N5590 to get near that power. } I made up a similar concept as a 2M transverter and had both as sub-chassis above the main chassis and the SSB 'rig' below it. There are probably still a few odd photos of it somewhere in the ZDC/ADC archives !
The homebrew transceiver and transverters are now long gone although skerricks from thir construction still remain in the shed.
