Ok, so it's not a ham transceiver, but it's heavy, came off of a boat,
and has tubes in it :)

It's a 'RCA Radiomarine Cruisephone 65'. Hybrid thing (I can see 5 power
transistors, four on back and one inside). TX xtals inside range from
~2100Kc to ~2700 Kc. Nice big Air-Dux coils inside. Only 2 tubes in the
RX (I imagine there are transistors hidden somewhere). The TX has a
12BY7A and 2 tubes that look like sweep tubes.

Any use for this thing? Perhaps rewire it for 80m? Or use for parts...

Jim
