Never leave it on a table unattended as it would drift off on to the floor. I
used a set of handcuffs on each side to keep it stable. The idea was to put it
out in the sun before you leave for work with ac turned on. When you came home
it might be ready to operate. Also my Swan 350 ps/speaker hummed and vibrated
so much, I had to wear headphones with extra padding. Hi HI. The good ole days.
Worked a lot of dx with it. I bought it out of a pawn shop for $50 in the early
70s. Roger W4IV tn
