The Cadaverlac.
The Cadaverlac is Timtron's 1972 Cadillac hearse featuring a fully functional yay-em transmitting station. Tim purchased The Cadaverlac in 1993 in Throwupton (Upton) Kentucky while working there installing a shortwave transmitter at WJCR, a well-known Bible Beater station at the time.

The Yay-em station installed in the Cadaverlac consists of a home-brew transmitter with an 813 final amplifier modulated by a pair of 811s. The audio driver is a much modified DuKane PA amplifier with an outpoot of 8-10 Watts. RF exciter is a Gonset G77 and the receiver is a Gonset G66 both highly modified. All B+ voltages on board The Cadaverlac are derived from dynamotors.

The Cadaverlac has been spotted at many hamfests in the Northeast in the 1990s and early 2000s. Unfortunately the salt on the roads in the Northeast have taken their toll and at the present time The Cadaverlac has several bodywork issues that require attention. These have not been completed and the vehicle is out of service for the time being. It is anticipated, however, that The Cadaverlac will be returned to service sometime soon.
