I have some pix around somewhere from when it was in good shape. Black and 
white, probably!

That series of receivers was pretty decent on CW. Used the W6YBR filter, 
adapted to 470 kc. Built back when surplus FT-241s and 243s were three for $2 
from JAN.

I think the xtals and sockets were the only things bought new for that 
receiver. Everything else came from junked TVs, AM BC receivers and ARC-5 
sets. Chassis panel and brackets were homemade because I had some aluminum 
sheet and access to a shear and brake. 

I'll look for the pix.
