Knightkit T-60 transmitter
The Knightkit T-60 is a kit-built CW and AM transmitter introduced in 1962-63. A very compact design, it replaced the T-50. Designed for the 80 to 6 meter ham bands, the T-60 uses a 6DQ6B final RF tube. Power input was advertised at "60 watts CW/ peak AM on 80-10. Less on 6". Output is about 40 watts on the lower bands. Output of the final is straight through for 80-10 and doubling for 6 meters. Oscillator/ buffer is a 6FH8. It also uses a 12AX7 for speech amplifier and 6DR7 for audio driver/ controlled-carrier AM modulator.
The T-60 does not have the usual plate or grid current meter. Instead it has a simple two-level RF output meter for tune-up and relative power output. Either a crystal or external VFO can be plugged into the front panel. Price of the T-60 was $49.95 in 1963. The price had increased to $59.95 by 1967.
