[HBR] HBR Ebay alert

It almost looks like mechanical parts only for possible future expansion of
capabilities, like a Q multiplier. Does not appear that any of the tube
holders have tubes in them, also, it appears as the IFs have been gutted.
Anyway, I count 16 tubes without these extra 4, so that would make it an
HBR-16 and not 14. Looks fairly similar to one of them that I built as a
young teenager. I do not think mine had as nice of a case however. BTW, the
receiver discussed previously and found to be in the March 1956 copy of QST
has been forwarded to Kevin and he is convinced that indeed it is the one.
In case anyone else would like to see it, I have uploaded the scanned pages
and, they can be found at:
