[Milsurplus] Question

Floyd,

Class 42 was not specified or used.  Most likely, the receiver was a 
CCT-46217, part of Model RBS and RBS-1.  Covers 2-20 MC A1/A2/A3.  In the photo, 
it should have been mounted vertically to a bulkhead in a CCT-10227 rack and 
cabinet, with a CCT-20235 or 20235-A Rectifier Power-Amplifier hanging from 
the bottom of the cabinet.  If it was a 10227-B, it should have been mounted 
on a shelf or open bench with CCT-20235-B hanging below.

Electrically and mechanically the same as CCT-46077 or 46077-A (HF 
receivers of RBM through RBM-5) except that four of the control knobs have large 
white-filled letters engraved on them.

Performance wise, it was pretty good for its day, roughly equivalent to 
BC-342 or BC-348 performance wise.  Two RF, two IF, AVC, ANL, three AF stages.

Today, I would class it as "Uncommon".  The Rectifier Power-Amplifier is 
probably Rare.  I've heard of two or three but never saw one.
