[Boatanchors] ID'ing an AR-88 Variant

[Doug Hensley]

Can anyone ID this AR-88 variant?  Also curious what in unknown condition, a fair price would be.I have no other information on it at this point in time.

Also, if anyone has a collection of relevant technical notes, articles, etc. on this radio, let me knowif you are open to providing a copy. 

The SC-88/CR-91 Variant at:

is for sale if anyone wants to take on a real heavy boat-anchor.  I have $150 in it and would needcost of packing added to that plus shipping.  Unless, of course, you can pick up in Baton Rouge.  I'mtold it is a custom job done in Montreal during the war and is a variant called an R-127/CRD-2 used to feed a spectrum display monitor.  It appears in excellent physical condition, sports an addon signal level meter (some say reminiscent of the Hallicrafters radios of the period), and is heavyas sin.  I have some information on it supplied by an Australian ham.  I also have found a listing inGovernment Publications but have not gotten to first base on that.

73 & TIA,
