[GreenKeys] FLESHER TU-170 suggestion... throw it away.

[Jack]

The Flesher TU-170 was the backbone of Ham RTTY in the 70's. There

were probably more of them in operation than all the others combined.
Not everyone

could afford a Dovetron at $500+ in those days and the Flesher's
active

filters were a lot easier to set up than tuning toroidal coils. The

circuitry is about as simple as it could be. 

 

I've had lots of them, and every one worked fine. Probably the biggest
problem

is cleaning off the nicotine....

After going through several of these. 

I have found that they were 95% kits and not worth messing with.

Several people recommended throwing them away.

I did not listen and spent way too much time on the darn things.

I should have listened.  They are not worth the carbon and steel 

they were made of.
