[ARC5] June 15-17 "hamfest" in Annapolis

[Mike Morrow]

That CBY-46181 is an extraordinarily rare unit.  It is part of ARA-2 and is identical to the common ARA CBY-46145 .52-1.5 MHz receiver except it is WIRED FOR 12 VDC.

It's a *fantastic* super-rare item that few have ever even seen mentioned!  I'll bet this is the only survivor.

   The Mid Atlantic Antique Radio Club is holding what some of us would call a "hamfest' with extras, in Annapolis, Maryland, June 15-16.  (They recently posted a notice on this site.)
 
    I plan to go Saturday June 17th and take my remaining Command Set items to peddle. I collected these while writing the CQ Surplus Column, 1964-1976.
 
    As I will shortly be 90 I want to get them into good hands while I can. My heirs care nothing at all about my various collections. Into the dumpster...
 
    I have half a dozen nice, almost museum-quality receivers: a pair of 1939 Navy RAT receivers, 13.5 - 20 mc and 20-27 mc  in a twin receiver rack with local controls, tuning cranks and a copy of the Navy manual.
 
    a CBY-46181 ARA receiver, .52 - 1.5 mc with local controls and crank;  an R-25 AN/ARC-5 receiver, 1.5 - 3 mc with crank and local controls; three dynamotors, odds &amp; ends of controls and so forth;
 
    R2021/AN-ARN-30D receiver, 108-135 mc, with rack, control box and mocked-up cabling. Works but not museum quality;
    
    Two R-15 receivers, 108-135 mc,  one with receiver dial, one without. Somewhat hacked
 
    new-in-the-box VT-5 vacuum tube, c. 1917
