Greetings to the list,

I never thought I would see the day when I had a radio heavier than my
R390A but I am the new caretaker for a CFT46154-A.  I applied 200V B+ and
6.3v to the heaters and this 15-600kc TRF beastie came to life.  The
previous owner lived in a noisy location so all he could listen to was
static and heterodyne.  With almost no antenna and workshop fluorescent
lights nearby I was able to copy 2 low end BCB stations and some nearby
beacons.  It has a wonderful B+ supply meter on the panel.  I've found a
few pics on the web of similar units.  This one has a tag telling me that
Field Change #3 was done to the unit.  Any additional info I could get
would be greatly appreciated.  I looked on BAMA for the manual but either
missed it or it's not there.  Can any one help here?
