Nice work, Meir: you nailed it. I have the 3007 receiver, but
didn't see it in the seller's photo. This is basically a wartime
Mackay receiver with an added 70 kcs selective IF, but no
better bandspread than the original. I am sure the 3001 LF-
MF receiver is still just the same as the wartime Mackay
regen.
One wonders how such an equipment, which at one time must
have been very costly, ended up being totally forgotten. Maybe
a ship contract was cancelled? Ah - i just recalled in my own
industry, how difficult it is to send excess equipment back up
the pipeline - there's no provision for that! -Hue Miller
