> metal, nothing inside.
> Stencil labeled "Spare Parts Receiver - Transmitter 1498"
> Box has painted stencils indicating it was shipped from Remler Co. , San
> Fran Ca., to a Seattle
> area electronics store, a surplus store if I'm not mistaken.
> So - anyone know what the "Receiver - Transmitter type 1498" is ?

> for ships of all classes, and "talker" sound powered phones.
