The old story, found it at an estate sale…It is tan with a brown vented cover that covers both sides and the top. The front has a tune and plate knobs on the left and a small blue ad white meter on the right. Under the meter are the numbers 3 2 1. The series of switches on the bottom are marked from left to right: ON/OFF, OPERATE/STBY, REC AMP/OFF, AM/SSB, and HI PWR/LOW PWR. On the rear near the top right is a small knob under which is marked TUNE FOR MAX. OUTPUT. Along the bottom from left to right are a lug marked GROUND, XMITTER, ANTENNA, a fuse well with a 32V 20A fuse, and finally a thick and grounded 110v power cord. Inside are a series of four GE 8950 tubes one shielded from the others. There is also a cooling fan. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If you have questions etc… Feel free to e-mail at gottagetagrip@hotmail.com

Here are some photos that may help. Someone said that it may be made by Palomar and put out about 400 watts.

It is a Pal 321. Just a Palomar Skipper in a change of clothes. Output will be 400-500 watts.

JP 1116,

Thank you for the help. Do you or anyone know the operational frequency range?
