Many fans of the Knight Kit Broadcaster have written to ask where they can buy one. My original plan was to produce a reproduction kit, and I have done much work toward that end. Several hurdles still stand in the way.
The single, most significant problem is the matter of liability. It's well known that the Broadcaster circuit had no power transformer, and therefore, no isolation from the power line. Additionally, the chassis is "hot", and can be a serious shock hazard. So far, the cost of an isolation transformer would drive the kit price far higher than is reasonable. I cannot sell a kit that results in a shock hazard, so at present, the project is still holding. |

That said, for the first time I am now able to provide a beginning! Several enterprising fans have asked for manuals so they might build their own Broadcaster from scratch, repair an old unit, or just remenice. I am please to annouce the availability of the Broadcaster Manual in PDF form. This file includes not just a manual copy, but copies of complete assembly manuals for both new and old versions, parts lists, schematics, assembly drawings and figures, resistance and voltage charts for trouble-shooting, the original "How It Works" page, complete cover graphics, including any advertising included in the manual! 50 pages in all, that's two complete original Knight Kit Broadcaster manuals! All this comes in a single high-quality Adobe PDF file, readable on any compluter platform, and printable on most printers. The cost is just $9.00. I have arranged to take payment through PayPal, either by cash transfer or credit card. Simply click the button below, and follow the directions. After I receive your payment, I will email you the link to the file and the password for the manual. You then will download the file, enter the password, and have fun! Note that it is a 6 Meg file, and will take some time to download. It's contaings high resolution scans for the best quality images. Please note that I don't live and sleep by my computer, so it may take as much as a day to get your password to you, but usually only hours. For now, Knight Kit is a One Man Company! Between 3/21/06 and 3/28/06 I will be unable to process orders. Any orders placed during this time will be filled after 3/28/06. Thanks! |
