[Boatanchors] RCA AR-60 Part 2

Wed, 26 Nov 2003 09:25:51 -0500

Hi Al
Paul's AR-60 has a replica of my name plate. He requested a
scanner jpg file because the plate was missing on his unit.
Yes, the property tag is in the upper right hand corner. From
the looks and adhesive, I would say the tag is quite new. The
receiver must have been used until quite recently by Globalcom.
Can anyone tell me what Globalcom is/was?
I am not sure if I should remove the overlay paper bandspread.
It is evidence of its commercial use?
Would the AWA consider this receiver a prize donation?
