Ed Delaney made the D&A line and was a friend of mine. Matter of fact, he
got me interested in going into business when I was about 17-18 years old
(1982-1983). He died just shortly thereafter. I contemplated buying out
D&A but his widow wanted too much at the time for a young buck like I was.
It ended up being bought out by two different surplus electronics houses.
Eds picture used to be in some ads for home learning electronics courses
back in the 60's and 70's if I remember right. I think the school was out
of Nebraska where he was at. Yes, they would work on the ham bands but
were really aimed at the CB market. Some of the stuff that had to be
designed to get around the law was making them CW transmitters with a plug
in crystal, LOL :) The small ones like the Bandit was made only as an
amplifier. That's my little piece to the history contribution.
Best,
Will

Greetings..
I just came by what I think are two CB amps..
1 -- Bandit II, by D&A Manufacturing. Has a bandswitch marked 40, 20,
15,
10. I found a schematic on this one. It has four 6JF6's and it runs
from
12 V. So, I guess the question is: Is it a ham item or a CB item or
both?
2 -- The Shoe Box, by the Electronics Center of Greenwood, IN. I can't
find
any data on this one and I haven't opened it up, yet.. But, I can see
the
tubes inside.
Do these evoke any old memories? 8-)
73,
