[ARC5] BC-1206

[Wayne Eleazer]

There are multiple different models of the BC-1206.  Some are Detrola receivers, which do not seem to have the BC-1206 nomenclature displayed on them - and are in fact called "Detrola" in the WWII pilot manuals.  Some are Setchell Carlson BC-1206C's which may be labeled under other designations as well.  The tube layouts are different between the two types of sets. And I even have a one labeled "BC-1206A" that looks like a Detrola but does not have that company's name on it anywhere that I can see.  I have not compared it's tube lineup with the Detrolas I have.

Interestingly, for the first time recently I found reference to a 1206 being used in a WWII Navy aircraft .
