At today's ham and electronic flea market, I found a really nice, pristine
Aircraft Radio Receiver, a CBY-46126, unmodified and with immaculate black
wrinkle paint and complete with the little spinner, but no dyno. This is like an
ARC-5. The radio came in the original cardboard box and the box serial number
matches the radio. It's just like when it was packed, 60 years ago.... well
almost.
In the box, between the inner and outer layers of cardboard, was a small brown
5" x 7" envelope, and therein a set of about a dozen, obviously home processed,
B&W pictures of a very pretty woman, posing in various states of undress,
starting with a tight sweater and ending with only a garter belt.
You never know what turns up at flea markets.
