[ARC5] SCR-67

[J Mcvey via ARC5]

That is very cool and unique! I came across something like that at an antique radio swap meet many years ago, but was an older design army radio that used a "catwisker" detector in a glass tube encased with brass. I think the transmitter was a spark gap type. the thing was a work of art!  It looked new, but the owner claimed that it was NOS...for $300!!!! I didn't know anything about it, so I passed. I still think about that radio to this day...

I am amazed that there was a phone modulated field radio in 1918! WHO KNEW?
Not only that, but "air variable capacitors" in an era when fixed caps and variometers were the norm.

Awesome doesn't seem adequate. There are 12 photos, don't forget to scroll
them sideways.
