[Boatanchors] National Cosmic Blue Receivers

[Rob Atkinson]

Before you go crazy over the National receivers, ask yourself how good
you are at restringing dial cord.  If you are up there with the young
ladies who did it at the National factory then have at it.   If you
suck at it like I do, look for sets like NC-183 that have gears.
