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#
