I have a BC-733-A that is complete, unmodified, including all tubes (like 3 each WE 717A and others) to trade. The "guts" are in very-good to excellent condition. The outside definitely could use a new "paint job" (is in "maybe" a low "good" condition). The cover for the bottom of the chassis is missing a number of the 1/4th inch long 6-32 pan head screws. Otherwise the unit is fine.
The information stenciled on the front is as follows:
BC-733-A
Serial Number 19821
Order No. 935-WF-42
Western Electric
There also is a white plastic (slightly "yellowed" after 66 years as well as being "dirty") plate that has places for 3 frequencies to be applied "by hand". This plate has the notation that it is to be removed if all 6 frequencies are installed. The plate removes with 3 pan head screws. When the plate is removed there is a metal plate underneath that covers 2 adjustment potentiometers.
Anyway, I have no need for this receiver and would like to trade it off for something more useful to me like maybe a BC-455 or BC-459 (ARC-5 or SCR-274N versions) or something similar. If no one is interested, I can alway pull the 717A tubes and use them in the "front end" of various Hallicrafters receivers and the other tubes in other units.
I can furnish photos to anyone who might be interested.
