Back on the Farm - Again - 5-F-134 and fun with chemicals (plating)
#13

No.
The radio was reassembled as found - a battery powered unit with no vibrator supply option.

I just did the restoration of the AC chassis for the next one that comes along. It is easier to do several similar projects at the same time rather than as needed. For me I always end up using the part and sometimes wonder why I did not make/do more.

Right now, I am doing a bunch (10) of boat-anchor/com receivers. Once all of your test equipment is set up it is also faster to just go down the line. There are some REALLY big units among them, a Collins R390A/URR and a Hammarlund SP 600 (LOTS of knobs to twist Icon_twisted Icon_redface Icon_rolleyes ). I'll probably be selling a few once I figure out how that can be done nowdays. Might have to wait till next year - or the year after that - or - - -
