Hi Gregg, Tom in Chicago here. Cool video. I have a 2700A with a 2 piece chassis. Must be an early one. I believe the previous 2700 had a 2 piece chassis.
yes, Greg Barkett of Barkett electronics has some, however the silver tarnish grows on NOS parts to, so it's hit & miss are to whether you're getting a good one. A NOS K-tran IF transformer stored around moisture will almost certainly be close to shorting out or near to it. 73-Gregg s9radio
Thanks a million for the info, Got some great rebuilt boards from Barkett years ago for my tram 201. Iam gonna go back and review your video as today I have time, you said rebuilt IF transformers I know more, I would think one could.uae a Mica cap? I'll be watching and subscribed.

The R2700A may have better fidelity, but to me listing to your side by side comparison the R27 has more actual communication capabilities.....Bones
No doubt about it, the R27 with the twin Nuvistor front-end easily wins for weak signal work.
Great job on the video!
Another informative video. Thank you.
Thanks Lou, you guys are the reason I do this. I enjoy sharing my over six decades of tube radio experience. 73-Gregg
@@s9radio When I saw the S9 here it took me back to the 60s and 70s when I was reading S9 magazine. I miss those magazines from back then.
Oh one more thing, can you buy new IF Transformers?
