CD stands for Civil Defense, 640 and 1240 AM. I knew a tech who worked at the 1240 leg of the system just before it was dismantled, and their stuff dwarfed his little AM station. If needed it would blow a hole through the commercial stuff and blast out a cold war message that would send all the school kids kneeling in the halls.

No, we really didn't believe it. Anyway it's really nice that you can share a restoration of such a nice old antique with a kid. Treasure the moments for they will not last forever.

Let us know if there is anything you still need. Most of us have piles of s**t we will never use.
