Navy MAW available in OR & WA but no shipping.
I have a Navy MAW set, complete AFAIK, in trunk, trunk is
somewhat battered, radio and antennas are unused condx,
or close. This is a 100-156 MHz AM portable radio, uses
battery tubes ( 3A4, 1L4, etc. ) at about 1.5 watt xmtr power
on several xtal channels. The actual radio if i recall is something
like 10" x 5" on top panel and then extends down about 12",
kinda the format of a detergent box. The manual shows a
person carrying it like a purse or message pouch with one
armstrap and short antenna - not real practical. The set also
has a conical looking collapsible antenna. Power is via a vib
supply, powered by (i think) a 2volt (not included) wetcell.
This thing appeared in 1945 and was probably in stock thru
KW.
The trunk weighs about 70-80 lbs and is about as big as a
computer or monitor box you'd find. So if i was going to
pack it, i conscientiously would need a way big box and mucho
effort, which i'm not willing to do for this value. I paid about $50
plus shipping from the East Coast to West Coast about 15
years ago, and i would like to recover that. It is in Albany OR,
but i can handoff anywhere on I-5 from Eugene OR to EVT - WA.
Or trade for RBM-lf, RAX-any, or spreadband SWL portable such
as Nordmende, Admiral, any other that is non all-bands all-junk.
Tnx, Hue
