[Milsurplus] Mystery Project-- Can you ID the Radio?

[asmagal at fc.up.pt]

What is really useful nowadays?
Computers, maybe.
But let me ask peacefully:

-Is there anyone still keeping with care and love a 286 or even a 386?

I also keep two useless APN-9. Waiting hopefully (among half a million
of other crazy projects...) for some kind of 400 Hz inverter, just for
the pleasure of seeing the Loran-A sweep pattern, even without any
transmitter signal.
