[Milsurplus] ARB surplus dealer conversion on Ebay ?

[MICHAEL ST ANGELO]

During my college years in the earlu 70's I repaired AM Marine MF radios. The radios were usually in good shape; I spend most of my time matching the transmitter output circuit to the whip antenna. This had to be performed on the board and I remember adjusting the trimmer capacitors and Air-Dux coil taps for each channel.


I was looking for some information about Marine MF radios and came upon this history of a West Coast Marine electronics company:


<">http://www.rodgersmarine.com/history.htm> http://www.rodgersmarine.com/history.htm


In paragraph 10 they describe the prichase of a boat in 1956 and state  " Located in the bow of his boat was a military surplus six channel AM transceiver the size of a Yugo."


Does anyone have any idea what that radio could have been?
