[Milsurplus] BC-137

That's a rare one. Where did you get it?

This is the receiver portion of the SCR-136, a late 1920s field radio for
the Artillery. The transmitter is the BC-122. Somewhere on the 'net is a 
picture of a complete SCR-136 - I think it is on one of the aircraft 
history sights, and is not ID'd, so Google might not be your friend. The 
receiver fits inside the chest and case of the transmitter - sort of a 
unique form in field radios.

It wants VT-5s (obviously). I don't have the TR scanned, although the 
radio is so simple, ten minutes of poking around should tell all.
