[Boatanchors] FOR SALE: WELLS-GARDNER RBL-4

[Ed - K9EW]

This is a Wells-Gardner RBL-4 VLF receiver made in Chicago under contract
with the US Navy in 1944.  It's in good physical condition with no serious
dings or scratches.  There is some crackling around the edges of the tuning
dial plastic cover.  The chassis shows a few tiny spots of corrosion - much
less than I expected to see.  I wasn't able to hear anything except a
couple of local AM broadcast stations with a short piece of wire for an
antenna, so I put it on a signal generator to make sure it worked on all
bands (it does).  This receiver covers 15 to 600 kHz in six bands, which
includes the two new ham bands at 135.7-137.8 kHz, and 472-479 kHz.  Photos
available if you're interested.  The original manual is included.  Because
of its size and weight, this is for local (Chicago area) pickup only.  $75
