[Milsurplus] SRR-5-B Set ... As a Kit?

[Michael A. Bittner]

Dave, What your friend has is one of the most sought after of the "spy" radios.  In the 50s, kits for building these radios were advertised in the various radio magazines.  I was called the "LUCY" receiver and you could get the complete kit for $19.95.  My guess is these kits were comprised of left-over parts after the gov't cancelled the contract for the SRR-5.  I will send you pictures in a separate email.  Mike, W6MAB

  Can anyone tell me about a set known as SRR-5-B?
  A friend has found one.  All the major componants are
  mounted inside, but no wiring or point-to-point parts
  have been installed.  Anything about this set would 
  be appreciated.  Thanks.
