[jcoward5452 at aol.com]

For what it's worth, here is what I have here:

CG-46117  7-27 Mc
s/n 15   RAX-1
Contract NOs-74810  Date 29 June 1940

CG-46116  1.5-9 Mc
s/n 2067  RAX-1
Contract NOs-74810 Date Obliterated

CG-46115  .2-1,5 Mc
s/n 71  RAX
Contract NOs-74810 Date Obliterated

CG-46116 1.5-9 Mc
s/n 617 RAX-1
Contract NXsa-36561  (No Date Indicated)

Is anyone collecting this data? These few receivers are in pretty good condition compared to what I've seen lately.They have all the covers in place,no hack saw marks and just about everything external is there except one antenna post. I also have one dynamotor.
 Now, I can't find it, but the Martin PBM Mariner Pilot's Handbook has a section on the radio gear and that airplane carried a spare of every radio and radar in use.That may explain why there were more receivers than dynamotors on the later contracts.
 Just supposing here.
