[Milsurplus] [RCA] SRR-13 Article

[Hubert Miller]

Well, there might be a flood of R-808s later this year then. I'm thinking of disposing of mine also. I think this thread has solidified my 
thinking on that desicion.  
I thought the R-808 was the heavier. I had only one SRR, which i never tried out, and only repacked and shipped to an acquaintance.
But it didn't seem all that heavy. I'll have to check my manual.

I got my BC-224-B at a hamfest for $5.00.  They made at least 91x (SN on
mine) of them on the 1939 RCA contract.  The dynamotor has been replaced with an AC supply but no extra holes in the panel.

I have a couple of R-808/GRC-14 sets on the bottom of the pile.  I messed with one about 25 years ago and let it go in favor of the R-392 I had at the 
time.   I don't plan on keeping the ones I have and will sell them this 
winter.  They are certainly heavy, but not as heavy as the SRR series.
