Mine is number 3065. Yellow stabilized(?) 'S' on the front panel, red tag
vs black on cover.

Sounds like the two or three CBY-46105 receivers I've seen. They're missing
dynamotor mounts and/or look like they were used as blocking under Bubba's
67 pickup during the axle swap. Still need one, have had zero luck finding
a clean example(the curse of starting your set up with a few NOS pieces).
When one shows up on ebay it seems some nutjob pays a crazy amount for it
that exceeds the crazy amount I bid. Guess I just don't want one badly
enough. Yet. It's still just a pastime for me, well down the list.

I've seen plenty of the other nice examples over time, even the BCB
CBY-46145 version, but the 46105 seems in short supply. Wonder why that is?
And the ATA transmitters show up regularly with mid/late war acceptance
dates. But no CBY-46105s. sob....
