[Boatanchors] AM-141/MRC In OK

[WA5CAB--- via Boatanchors]

Sometime back, probably in the early 90's, while looking for SCR-499 
(BC-610) bits I acquired a wall chest full of plate and grid coils for the 
AM-141/MRC.  This is an RF amp that used a BC-610 as the exciter.  

There was a guy who lived in Oklahoma who I can only remember as "Curly" 
who had a complete AM-141 (may have had the rest of the AN/MRC-2 as well but 
I'm not sure of that).  He apparently lived on a farm or at least in a place 
with several small out buildings as the one where he had the coils for the 
amp strored burned down but wherever the amp was didn't.  Anyway, I sold him 
a set of coils.  The only other thing I can recall is that he and his wife 
drove to Houston in a not too old at the time Cadillac and picked up the 
coils.  And judging from the entries in my database, it was probably 1990-1993 
and I would guess Curly's age at the time to have been 60-70.  Unfortunately 
I did not set up my current database until 1994 and not all of its 
predecessor ported over so I have records of the coils and wall chest but not of 
where the coils went.

Fast forward 20+ years - a guy contacted me yesterday looking for an 
AM-141.  And I think that the only one I ever came across was the one that Curly 
had.  If any of you can recognize Curly from my poor description and know or 
think you know what became of him and/or the amp, please contact me.
