Clarify, Mr. T: several sets of SAME model, or several different models of the
series.
FYI, Tony Grogan some years back had a USCG owned TBX-6, and as i recall
it was not radium marked. I presume that was maybe because the USCG radio
was not envisioned to be used in combat. It had white faced meters. My thinking
as a rule of thumb, is if the TBX has white face meters, it does not have radium
paint. Am i wrong?
