Radioroslyn, the SLRM is 55lbs compared to 100lbs for the DX-100.
Arran, the SLRM dates to 1944 and was designed primarily for shipboard operation (hence the DC capability) as a morale receiver. Super Low Radiation Marine. The low radiation was a requirement to prevent enemy ships and subs from detecting oscillation emissions. Numerous examples show it aboard various types of ships in WWII, mostly Merchant Marine. As for the Tropic Master, I think you'll find the ones sold post war were war surplus, not new production. Many companies were left with undelivered product as govt contracts were canceled so they offered that product to the public in order to recoup costs.
Vecher, thanks for your kind offer, much appreciated. It appears the one you have is an SLR-F.
There was also an SLR-H (Military, made in at least 2 versions (RBO-2)) and also the SLR-X (Navy version).
