Did not have any "loan" credits for the radios
that I saw.
I sure wish I'd brought my camera.
The radio displays were very well done, "in context"
(except, of course for the SCR-274N; hard to put
a bomber in there) and sparkling clean examples.
The only "clinker" was a radio in a display of
British SAS equipment which included one of those
"made in China" faked-up "Lindberg direction finder"
things you can get at Wally World.
In a building full of excellent displays,
I'm at a loss to explain such a silly goof.
Frankly, I didn't expect them to do
anything with the radios- these exhibits never do,
which is one reason I waited until the last minute
to go see it.
So I didn't bring my camera.
The *one time* someone shows good
sense and, of course.....

Sadly, the top of the radio was closed-
couldn't see the face. I judged it to be
a type 95 by the outside.
