Handbook. The 1963 handbook says “The receiver  shown … was designed to meet a 
need for a better than average ham receiver  requiring a minimum of 
mechanical work and using standard and easily  obtainable parts.  It incorporates 
such features as a 100 Kc calibrator,  provision for reception on all ham 
bands from 80 through 10 meters, adequate  selectivity for todays crowded 
bands, and stability high enough for copying  s.s.b signals.  Dubbed the DCS-500 
because of its 500 cycle selectivity  in the sharpest i.f. position, it is a 
double conversion superhetrodyne  receiver capable of giving good results 
on either a.m, c.w., s.s.b.

> The front panel is 0.125” thick steel, 19” wide by 12 1/4”  tall.  The 
chassis is 2” tall by 11” deep by 17” wide.  Weight is  approximately 23 
pounds before packing.  This receiver is built like a  tank.  It uses a 
National vernier dial plus all National knobs.  The  meter is Lafayette.  There are 
no tubes with it.  It looks like it  might have been complete at one time 
but looks like parts are missing, a lot  of unterminated wires, no longer 
wired switches, etc.. I would consider this a  “parts unit” and fabulous for 
having the difficult to impossible to find  Miller IF transformers, variable 
capacitors, power transformers.  It will  come with three sets of coils for 
75 meters, 40 meters, 20 meters!!!!!   The 9 coil forms are the clear 
plastic forms typically used in the  1960’s.  The coils are “unobtainium” 
anywhere else.

> Local pick up is fine, Saint Paul MN.  I don’t want to box this  
transmitter up but I will happily take it to a shipper of your choice and you  can 
arrange to have them box and ship.  I have used The UPS Store in  downtown 
White Bear Lake MN to successfully box and ship a Hammarlund HQ-180,  
Hammarlund HQ-180AC, National NC-173, Hammarlund HQ-129, Heathkit Mohawk,  Heathkit 
Marauder, 1936 Gross CP100 transmitter, National NC-101X, etc… They  have 
done a good job for me.
