Friends,  I was again triaging paper tonight, trying to avoid hurting my 
back 
or gut  while moving heavy boxes, and came across a couple curios.
One, a prelim  manual for the SCR-240-A / SCR-260-A. A Westinghouse radio 
that was  apparently not bought by the USAAF. No pictures, only some
very basic line  drawings in the manual. The other is a Hoffman Radio 
catalog, undated,  listing war surplus equipment and parts for purchase by
"jobbers", which I  believe means middlemen between Hoffman and surplus 
stores?
Some prices  I noted, going by memory:
HS-30 headphone   $0.12
ARB complete  setup  $35
ARB receiver only      $29
ATC  trans                    $50
ART-13 trans             $120
BC-348                   $52
MN-26             $75
BC-653       $100
BC-433    $35
RAX                   $21
didn't see much if any of  ground radios. Interesting; I'll have to try to 
see if there's a hint of a  date in there. As you can see, the prices seem 
to 
be
like 1947; some of  these particular prices dropped drastically in 
following 
years.
It  occurred to me it mght be fun to have some surplus catalogs scanned  
online.

I pulled out some TTY manuals which I will be offering here  free. I am 
keeping probably only a "Teletype Fundamentals" manual, which  shows some
of the equipment. Or maybe I'll offer it too. Anyone interested  in 
military 
1940s teletype manuals?
