- Continental Electronics 105C One Mega Watt Medium Wave Transmitter. The Continental Electronics 105C very clearly shows the Weldon-Western Electric lineage. This is supposedly the first mega-watt medium wave transmitter in the world. While there are slight circuit differences and some tube differences, please note that this is a linear based transmitter that uses the Weldon modified Doherty circuit. This was supplied through the courtesy of David Hultsman of CCE and scanned by Stanley Adams. *
CCE 105C Slow loadingthis is 24 pages scanned at 400dpi and weights in at 45mb. - Continental Electronics 314-1KW AM Transmitter. This Continental shows the clear break in heritage to WE and this is supposedly the first full line that is strictly made by CEC without the leftovers of the Collins-WE era. The 300 series was totally designed and developed 'in house'. Many of the 300 series high power rigs are still on the air. This was supplied through the courtesy of David Hultsman of CCE and scanned by Stanley Adams. *CCE 23 mb.
- Continental Electronics 316F-1 10KW AM Transmitter. A mid-powered for regionals and night time class B's. *CCE This was made as was the 314 during the Varian period of ownership, one of the most productive and stable periods of the company. This was supplied through the courtesy of David Hultsman of CCE and scanned by Stanley Adams. Very large file scanned at 400 dpi, size is 119 mb.
- Continental Electronics 317C-2 AM 50 kW AM Transmitter. For the day and time this was THE transmitter that many of the fine stations in the country would own if they had that big Class I-A ticket, the 317 series. This transmitter is historical as well as functional. It contained all of the benefits of the screen grid modulated finals in the Doherty configuration. Frequency response was juat about as flat as a ruler out to 15 kHZ and with plenty of modulation depth. The Magniphase helped to keep the unit stable under all voltage conditions, both from external sources (surges or lightning strikes)as well as surging current in RF drive and output circuits. This unit would help to keep the great currents within the transmitter always operating in a safe manner and if it did not, it would immediately trip the transmitter off the air. The 317C-2 is a later model of this series and contains a large amount of solid state componets and RF feedback is directly from the output stage to the very begininng of the audio input stage which was an IC chip. This was supplied through the courtesy of David Hultsman of CCE and scanned by Stanley Adams. Very large file scanned at 400 dpi, size is 140 mb. Quality of photos was determined by the actual document printing. *CCE
