Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift

WOW  Fantastic!   Time  to  go to  work! 

Thank You much  for the info   Ron!

So it  was issued as  not a battery powered unit  as a traditional as we  think of a portable.... but  as  sort of a radio in a rugged  portable case but you  still have to plug in when you get it to a destination...

This belonged  to Vernon Furr a radio old  timer in Arizona and we have  many things of  his we preserve at the museum project  OT  but here is the crystal sets he  built and sold and also a little history on him. One more  nice thing to add to hiss display  (special note the  dust  you see was just a fraction of that was all over everything  we pulled out of there 30 years ago...)

OK  this  radio -how  scarce are they?

Many Thanks  Ed#
