[Milsurplus] RAT-1 and the War Assets Administration

[Thekan, Paul]

 I was going through a binder I have of surplus items that where for sale
from the War Assets Administration circa about Oct 1946. These particular
sales notices where handled by the Remler Company here in San Francisco as
agents for the WAA. The items listed in the sales notices where located at a
Remler Warehouse and samples of items for sale could be seen on display, so
says the Remler fact sheet.

 Anyway , in their sales notice  #115 are listed NIB RAT-1's. According to
the descriptions and quantities shown they had what looks to be a total qty
of 78 pairs of the  13.5 - 20 Mcs recvrs and the 20 - 27 Mcs recvrs. with
mounts and what looks to be the remote tuning heads too. There where 4 lots
of these 78 pairs available , most set up for 28 volts and only a qty of 4
pair set up for 14 volt operation. Some lots had dynamotors , some not as
well as spares kits and connectors. 

 Just thought I'd pass this along for what it's worth. But I do have a
question though , I thought I read some where that only 50 pairs of the
RAT-1 where made and here at this sale are 78 pairs. Does one of our Mil
Radio Scholars out there know what the production numbers where on the
RAT-1??

 

Thanks

Paul
