hello to alll . most of my hallicrafter radios were in working order or close 
to it when i aquired them .
i just found a rather unusual radio it is a wells-gardner rao3 at least that 
is what i think it is the plates on top have been removed except for the one 
that says accepted by the navy 1944.there also is a mounting base the radio 
sits on with a navy tag on it that has a part number and says a unit of model rao 
3.i cant seem to find any info on it .
this radio weighs a ton and is in untouched condition inside and out still 
has all of the US navy tubes in it to also  the huge coax plug in the back with 
about 2 feet of cable on it .evrything looks factory origional on the chassis 
has all paper wax caps in it . how long should i let it sit on variac when 
powering upto see if everthing is working .
thanks to all who reply .
steve
