[Milsurplus] AC supply for TBY, more

[Hubert Miller]

No, it does make a difference, and we have to get it right, as far as it's in our power. I concur with your and Nick's conclusion.
The periods in " P.H.N.Y." only make sense this way. I haven't looked into this farther, but apparently Pearl is now known as 
Naval Station Pearl Harbor. "PHNY" was "Philadelphia Navy Yard" up through the 1960s when it was still building ships, per the
link I gave with my original post this thread. Pearl Harbor also makes more sense this way: you might expect deliveries of spare
selenium rectifiers to be more scanty or episodic to Hawaii than to a site on the East Coasts, where the great majority of U.S.
electronics manufacturing was done. ( The RL-10A supply I have, the schematic indicates that some versions were produced with
a separate battery box instead of a low-voltage section in the RL-10A. The additional battery box held 6 of #6 dry cell batteries -
had to be a  pretty big "accessory". )
This is speculative, but I am thinking this supply came off a ship scrapped in the Pacific Northwest, I mean at Tacoma WA most 
likely. I think it's less likely to have been surplused on the East Coast and mailed to the west coast, even less likely that it was 
surplused in Hawaii and sold and mailed to the mainland, or carried to the mainland in luggage. 
Thanks for the inputs.

Not that it makes a lot of difference but I would say that P.H.N.Y, is more likely to be Pearl Harbor Navy Yard.  Philadelphia is more commonly abbreviated as PHILA.  And for single letter abbreviation, it would be P.N.Y.
