[Milsurplus] FS in OR, WA: Australian AMR-101 HRO-type rec

[John Kidd]

Hi Hue & all,

I have never seen an AMR-101 for sale or available in Australia. I
actually bought one out of California 5 years ago and shipped it to
Australia.
It was complete except for spare coil boxes and the wooden drawer/case
for them. It was in excellent condition and I ended up selling it
to an AWA enthusiast
 and mil radio guy in Australia. I later found some coils and original
drawer/case which I passed to the new owner.
I ran out of room and it had to go.

I also still have an two AR7's with original power supplies. One
supply was extremely rusty behind the front panel so I completely
stripped
it prior to rebuid. While it was apart I did a CAD drawing of the
chassis so I could have another laser cut then folded. Most components
are
standard except for the military grade sealed transformers and chokes.

	First, this is one heavy, large beast. The AMR-101 was built by
A.W.A. for the U.S. Army.

	The receiver and AC & DC supply are fitted in a large trunk, which
when set on end, becomes the

	operating position. The receiver is one fine looking beast. I had the
coils and some kind of other

	wooden accessory  box but I didn't find them on recent emptying of a
storage unit, but I trust 

	these will turn up. The only thing missing from the setup, that I
noticed years back, was the 

	radio's speaker box was gone. Manual is online. Full set of coils.
Some spare tubes as I recall.

	I'll take a closer look today. I'm going to pull the PS from the
trunk so the trunk is not a heavy 

	lift for two strong men. 

There are at least 3 others in this country, one complete as I heard.
I wondered how such

	heavy beasts were souvenired back to the states, and I'm thinking
because of the AWA 

	nameplate, they kind of 'fell between the cracks', neither U.S. nor
Australian property.
