Fred Osterman's third edition , is  the one to get. Fred wrote the info in
the 1st and 2nd editions, and when he  did the 3rd, he sent it over to me
to help fill in the blanks and add info on  several receivers. The entire
book is loaded with great pictures and  information on receivers from 1942
to 1997.

Check Google for lots of  sites showing Lafayette equipment.

Yep, that's the version I have. I would liked to have seen radios like the  
Icom R7000 in there, but I guess it's more of a scanner......
