I remember reading in the AWA Old Timer's Bulletin that many of the Scott SLRMs were used on merchant ships. They were used by the U.S Navy as well but ended up being used as entertainment radios, even though that wasn't the intent of the manufacturer, apparently they just couldn't cut it. If you watch the movie, "The Caine Mutiny" they have a Scott SLRM sitting in the background in their ward room. The Scott RBO was definitely a moral radio, a marine radio would have at least had a longwave band. The same was true of many Howard communications sets built during the war.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
