This is a 2-4mc xcvr with a superhet RX using 6SK7s & 6K8, etc.

TX seems to be 807 final and paralelled 807s for modulator (Heising?)

Once had an external power supply & transformer iron corral that's sure awol

Went to Chesson site & found CCI is contractor called Communications
Corp Inc., whoever that is.  Got no further.

My info came from a 'fone call frm CCI-43040 owner.  Note, tho, I saw the 
frowzy wreck after it got bought at Shelby 2 yr.s back

Now suspect it's a Collins 18M5 that supposedly never saw WW2 prod'n.  A
kinda compact TCS.  Another bud has one of these.

Any help out there?

  Tnx,

    Marty
