Hi Bill,

I'm in Michigan. Roy is in Massachusetts.

It has been some time since I paid for postage on a command receiver.

The dynamotor plug has not been soldered. There are a couple of small dings in the sheet metal that can be straightened with a little care. I never got around to it. There is an earphone jack in the front panel and an unpainted panel with gain control and BFO control. The insulator on the antenna terminal is cracked but still functions.Most of the screws that hold the top cover on are missing - just enough to keep the cover from falling off. All of those extra 'features' were included when I got the radio.

I could use some of the parts - especially some of the sheet metal to improve one or two of my other command receivers. If somebody wants this radio or needs it for some parts just make me a reasonable offer. I don't expect to get enough to retire but that doesn't matter. I am already retired:) If no takers I will salvage a few things and dump the rest. Sell or trade. What do you have? Don't wait too long. I am recovering space in my small retirement shop. A BC-454 already went to a new home:)
