[Milsurplus] Bendix Radio...

[D C (Mac) Macdonald]

I remember all those radios that came out of service
on the Texas & Pacific RR back around 1965.  I was
stationed at Carswell AFB from 1963-1966!  I acquired
a Motorola FMTRU-10V if I recall correctly.

Thanks George... that sounds very sensible.  I found it
packed away with a couple of old railroad receivers I've
had for years, always intending to do something with them.
Hopefully, I'll be able to find some kind of documentation
somewhere.  It's in need of a good cleaning and I'm sure
the caps are dried out, but it may be that the old girl
can come back to life with a little coaxing.  I appreciate
your insight.
