[Boatanchors] On Ebay - SCR508 BC604 BC603 FT-237 WWII signal corps milit...

[Holzer]

Wow, what memories. Anyone remember Dick Heinz Surplus in California?  
About 1956 or so I bought a BC603 and a BC604 from him. I remember  
that he shipped them in a wooden crate and the shipping cost was about  
as much as I paid for them. They arrived via semi-truck while I was at  
school and my mother had to help the truck driver get it off the truck  
and into our garage. The crate was so big that I used it for a small  
workbench.
