[Boatanchors] Zenith TransOcean Radio

[Geoff]

Produced in early 1942 only as the Trans Oceanic Clipper with Loktal and 
octal tubes and model 7G605. The first run had the sailboat and the 
following 2 runs had the bomber. Runs were 10000, 20000 and 5000.

Frequencies were the same as the postwar 8G005Y and the all new G500 in 
1950.

A BCB only portable in 42 also had the sailboat.

The one to find is the WW2 R-520/URR, it took me almost 25 years to land a 
real nice one.
