[Milsurplus] AR-8506 Radiomarine Rcvr

[Walter Treftz]

If you can pick it up for $1.00, go for it ..... but
then, whats the shipping? From what I remember of
using them for years back in the 60's on Victory's,
T-2, C-2's, etc., they ain't worth messing with. We
used to have to put pencil marks on the dials where
you got a particular coast station as the calibration
was terrible and like the 8mc marine band was about
3/4" on the dial. No filters, just a bare-bones HF
rcvr made quick and dirty. Sensitivity was not too bad
(for the vintage). I'd compare it to a seaborne
BC-348. I'd have to look but I may have a manual on it
out in the garage packed away.
