Not a conversion, but a restoration. This is one of several I'm restoring, it is a 1964 6 volt system, super-het and I have updated all the Bonner servos to 1963 specifications, which is the final revision. All new electrolytic capacitors, over 35 of them, 12 resistors, a 2N 711 RF amp, and lots of cleaning and polishing of the servo wipers and contacts, rebuilt the servo motors (clean com and brushes and lube bushings ) new batteries, re-wire of power, switches and servo connectors...lot of work, but rewarding. The fun part begins once everything is working and you start to set up the tones for simultaneous servo operation.
