[Milsurplus] wwII walkey talteys

Jack & Meir,

Jack may mean the BC-611.  For some reason, I think during the CB craze of 
the 60's, what we hams and/or mil radio collectors know as handie talkies 
began to be called walkie talkies.  BC-611's show up on eBay more frequently 
than BC-1000's.  Selling price has run anywhere from $50 to $300 but I'd say 
the average is about $150.  They are of course usually sold by people who 
have no idea whether they are complete or whether the various components are 
consistent with the model letter on the dataplate.  Usually, they aren't.  
:-)

I have a lot of BC-611 parts that I sell and also work on the radios 
sometimes for other people.  I could probably assemble a couple of display 
units as well.  For the BC-1000, on the other hand, I only have some misc 
bits and pieces.
