[Milsurplus] What on Earth--- Village Radio ? Hallicrafter vs Hammarlund?

[Tom Norris]

Bill didn't know what it was either. This radio most resembles
the unidentified handheld just below the FM-1 on the web page
that todd posted. The antenna connector is an SO-239, the top
panel is the same - though the ebay example is missing the cover
over the squelch control.

Hopefully someone of the list is bidding on it, I think I'm outbid
again.
