A much sought after, early, British Royal Air Force vintage
receiver and it is not difficult to see the reason for this.Although built for the
military,it dates back to an elegant age of wooden cabinets,Muirhead dial drives,grid bias
and an Air Force flying planes which boasted propellers on the front!The vintage receiver
uses 5 tubes (valves) and requires power supplies of around 120 volts B+ (H.T.),-3volts
grid bias and 2 volts for the heaters.At some stage during the last 70 years,the cabinet
front panel has been restored, but all the original lettering remainsCondition throughout
is very good ,with no modifications and retaining original components..A nice feature, is
that the original calibration chart is still with the receiver,fixed to the underside of
the lid.Coverage is 4.3Mc’s to 21 Mc’s in 3 switched ranges.This very desirable
early R.A.F. battery communications receiver is in working order and comes complete with a
circuit diagram.The price is $580 U.S. Dollars, including air transport to USA.
