[Boatanchors] Ray Jefferson, Inc.

[Carl]

I worked for Ray Jef a short part time in Freeport, did the evening shift at 
WGBB on weekends and raced on the 1/5 mile track, all in Freeport.

Ray Jeff was always in FCC trouble with type acceptance, their marine radio 
I worked on looked like something a kid with all the tinned wire he wanted 
was used. It ran parallel 807's and was a bit squirrely.

They were finally shut down for good and resurfaced down south. I have one 
of their SS 630/RDF receivers which I use in the woods to plot BC station 
bearings when testing Beverage directivity. It was made in Japan and the 
label say a division of Jetronic Industries.
