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

[Telegrapher at att.net]

 Speaking of that, i have a very nice Epson 12 mc processor speed PC i bought brand new from Sears back in about 88 i think.  Slow Comport speed though.  20Mb hd and a single 5 1/4 inch floppy drive.  Still play a game or two with it.  Everything else on it is original, well except for the monitor.

It's not military related but what the heck.  Nice fun change to a rather dead list.
