[Boatanchors] WTB Receiver

[Jim Wilhite]

I have a 755 and an A model.  The A model has a choke in the power supply 
and the 755 only has a resistor in place of the choke.  I have also seen a 
755A with a dial light installed.  Also the 755 uses a direct drive for the 
dial movement and the A model has a string to move the dial.

The 755 has the oscillator tube under the shield and in the A model the tube 
is outside of the shield.  It appears there are lots of minor variations of 
the two, but the circuit design is the same.
