[Boatanchors] Lafayette Transceiver

[howard holden]

Mike, FYI the 1935 ARRL handbook has a transceiver for 56Mhz that uses #30 and #33 tubes.

Maybe a predecessor to the Lafayette?

My text referred to two photos of the unit that I attached to my email.  It looks like the photos did not go through.  One photo is 115 KB and the other is 71 KB. I would like to send the photos, because I think this unit would be of interest to members of this list, but don't know how. How do you send photos on this list?

Yes, it is clearly labeled "Lafayette Transceiver" on its front panel, but no model number is given.
