I'm planning on using this for a packet/rtty/amtor terminal for field
operations.
I'm also interested in an RTTY terminal (keyboard/printer type), just for
experimentation and conversation, if you have one you'ld like to get rid of.
Needs to be in working order.  I'll probably use a solid state demodulator
circuit, and I already have the plans to build my own closed loop power
supply...

Hello all and thanks for reading this message.  I am looking to
obtain an MT-1 matching transformer.  This transformer was made in
the early 60's by Hi-Par Products for their Saturn 6 halo antenna.
It is a solid block of polyethylene plastic with a couple of leads
coming out the bottom and a coax connector on it. It might have a
label on it that says:
                       "SATURN-6"
                   Matching Transformer
                       Model MT-1
            HI-PAR PRODUCTS Co.  Fitchburg, Mass.
Please let me know if you might have one of these old transformers
in your junk box that you would like to part with!
               Thanks & 73, Darryl KE6IHA
P.S. I know there are other ways to match up a Saturn-6, but I am
completely restoring a Saturn-6 and want the MT-1 for it.

the modem port can go 9600, and runs on 4 AA batteries or a 6v supply.
