The first Comet kit was the SS-3 Q-multiplier. Note that it is WRL, not Globe. World Radio Labs touted its 6 meter transceiver as the "World's Smallest." It measured 5" x 9-1 /4" x 6" and weighed 5 lbs. The superhet receiver tuned from 48-54 MHz, and the 5 watt AM transmitter used 8 MHz crystals. A separate power supply was required. The TC-6A replaced the TC-6, a similar 1 watt model. References Brief description. Electronics World, Jan 1962, p. 117. Brief description. Popular Electronics, Jan 1962, p. 34.
