Anyone ever take a survey on BC-611 prod'n runs?  Ran BC-611B
#1000-something on 3-42 Galvin contract @ Dayton 3885 check-in.

Appesrs to be one of 1st.  Couple of guys got swooney

AND

Microphone elt. fm a transistor sister and got B+ from a paint stick
(Ace Hdw) of 9V batteries.  Hamburger helpers.

AND if that'n not enuf, derailed the history train with a BC-1000
'altered' for 6m.  Power fm a 12V gel cell & glue pieces.

I'm the guy behind it in Ray Fantini's neat http foto album.*  Good

internal-toothed #40 lockwashers, I'll know it wasn't the missus'
