The GE LWM-3 is build from an article in GE Ham News titled "The LWM-3—Mobile SSB Transceiver". The issues are Nov/Dec 1961 (16-6) and Jan/Feb 1962 (17-1). It looks kind of like a KWM-1 clone and uses a 12BY7 for a final. There was an earlier article in Nov/Dec 1960 (15-6) for a companion mobile amplifier. The radio uses a Collins mechanical filter.
I have located copies of the GE Ham News and will post them here if I can secure permission from GE
If you built a LWM-3, or anything else from Ham News that you are proud of, send me a photo of you and your project and a description or your memories of the project. I'll add them to the boatanchor.com website.

together a power supply and check it out
