[Milsurplus] Radiomarine Corp AR-8506 Receiver

[Richard]

Dave, OM:

I have one too.  The original plates were Celluloid, printed, and 
over-coated with varnish.  Mine was stored in a very hot place and all 
the plates shrank and pulled away from the mounting screws, and the 
round ones went conical.  Also the varnish turned black, but was loose 
and came off easily.  I copied and laminated them and they came out 
passably good.  If you wish I will copy and laminate - you can cut them 
apart.

My dial plate was deep yellow, and also copied nicely.  The dial cover 
was black, and cracked in five places, so I made a new one from thin 
Plexiglass.

It also has a field affixed yellow metal tag marked "USA LIB-44-234."  
LIB is for Liberty Ship, 44 matches the name plate date, 1944, but the 
234 does not compute. It would be nice to know where it came from.

Richard, AA1P
