[ARC5] BC-1206-B

[Robert Eleazer]

I have a BC-1206-B.  It's not one of the two 1206's I have that work and differs from the other 4 in that it has the "Not to be removed by Ferry Pilot" and "Signal Corps Beacon Receiver BC-1206-B" on the same front label that has the frequency dial markings and Tel and Off markings; it has black wrinkle finish rather than the gray.  And also it has no Detrola markings, which I guess would jibe with it being built by a different manufacturer.

It uses two 25L6GT/G tubes.  For some reason on my example someone removed the dial pointer mechanism, which is a subtly geared arrangement.  I have a BC-1206-A that has been rather badly hacked and I hope to be able to serve as a donor for that part.
