Started in on this set, I think it was the top of the line for 1942. Has the BCB and 6 to 15mc SWB. Made up the five section filter cap and stuffed it into the old casing (not all that pretty) Most of the rubber wire is ok so am proceeding carefully. Being a portable the chassis is rather compact making the work slow.
