[Milsurplus] China 222 Receiver

[Hue Miller]

Thought i'd forward this to the glowbugs list also. Some of you (well, maybe 1 )

may have an interest in this receiver. A mere data point follows:

 
> I was watching a Chinese war movie, "Assembly", set in the Civil War which
> exploded following WW2 in China. At 21:20, I saw a prop China Type 222
> Receiver ( "China's SX-28", sometimes called ), also a handcrank generator
> nearby.
> ( I think the receiver was produced a little later, but not certain of 
> this....)
> Anachronisms, how you gonna eliminate 'em all? The schoolteacher-soldier's
> modern haircut, and his stylish glasses...
> But the uniforms, weapons, and gore seem to be pretty true to life.
> Didn't watch any more, due to time, so don't know if more instances of 
> radio...

Oh, forgot to mention, this movie, the full length, is available on You Tube.

Somewhere, perhaps on a severely wounded computer around here that's 

waiting for some rehab, i have a photo a friend in California sent me, of 

numerous crates of new 222 receivers scattered in an alley, some crates

whole, some bashed, all conditions.
