I've acquired what I think is a rack mount Beckman WWV receiver. It is
switchable in 6 crystal controlled channels to 2.5, 5.0, 10, 15, 20, and
25 MHz.
I think it is early '60 vintage with 5Y3 rectifier and 2 6AQ5 audio
output tubes although the output is not push-pull. Several 5894's,
6BA6's and 12AT7's round out the complement. A meter zero to 100 reads
signal strength. The meter is made by Shasta.
I'm not completely sure of the model or make since the front panel has
been repainted but the best "googling" I can do sorta matches the
Beckman 905R.
It plays well on several frequencies.
Of course what I'm looking for is a lead on a schematic or manual. None
of the usual sources list this receiver.
