[Boatanchors] National Cosmic Blue Receivers

[Nick England]

Rich KB8TAD has nice photos of the 270 and matching speaker along with
vintage ads, etc.

Rich’s pages on boatanchor rigs are a great resource and fun to browse.

I had an NC-270 once upon a time. Didn’t impress me IIRC. Would rather use
an NC-300 or NC-303. YMMV.
But it definitely is the perfect color for your “mid-century modern” ham
shack.
