Tnx for your input. This kinda tallies with what the seller replied, that the
Raymond Moore books states it was a Coast Guard receiver. I have seen
such an advertisement in back of old Radio & Television News magazine.
I don't recall that it was identified there as "Boulevard". I seem to recall also
somehow that minimal assembly instructions were supplied, like maybe only
a schematic. Possibly left over components after a contract was cancelled?
The AC/DC revelation makes me feel relieved i didn't bid on it.
What FRC-receiver i thought it was, continues to puzzle me, but i will find
the manual here "someday".  -Hue
