[Boatanchors] A work of art

[Carl]

Good for you John and Im now particularly glad that I posted it on here. 
There is a decent amount of superb HB workmanship showing up.

I have an older design HB SSB rig that used a LF filter, 6146 PA on one 
chassis, and the 813 and CRT monitor on another. Looks to be roughly 
1957.

Also picked up a real gem on Tuesday at the ARRL which was equidistant 
for buyer and seller. Its the Jan 1954 QST cover rig and a few 
Handbooks. The Vernon Chambers 500W self contained 813 rig complete with 
PS built around a period UTC CG-305 xfmr.
