[Milsurplus] Old Signal Corps radio

[Mike Morrow]

FWIW (since very litle radio history gets discussed here) Graybar Electric made the SCR-AD, AB (came after the AD), AF, AL-183 and the SCR-AL-283.

Graybar Electric history and Western Electric history are very closely interweaved.  Graybar still exists as a large corporation.
