This auction is for a excellent orignal PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTION BOOK for RADIO SET AN / FRC-1 Made by the Marine Radio Service INC. Wilmington Calif. Copyright 1943.! book looks near Mint! Has many fold out Diagrams! Has a lot of Information! This is the only one I have ! Free shipping on this one! 


The photos show only a few pages, but they seem to be in decent condition. I'm trying to send a copy of the cover image.
