Rats, you beat me to it. I am in a bad mood today so I was going to start
yelling at everyone for calling these transmitters GO-9...

Anyway, it looks like a GO-3 or GO-4. Definitely not a GO-5 or
GO-6. Wonderful condition!

I suspect very few (but some) GO-9s went into service, and most of the
survivors today are leftovers from the war when the Navy finally figured
out they built enough GOs.
