  How do you come to have a receiver missing the IF deck?

It comes from finding a piece here, a piece there, and then a trip to 
Fair, and voila! An almost complete radio. When done, this radio
will be very much of a Frankenstein.

  Refresh my memory, is that a 250 Kc or 500 Kc IF?

The R-648 is a 500 kc IF radio. I have a number of ideas in
the back of my head to get it functioning, but still will be
on the lookout for the real thing.

Would take a bit of work being they are shaped different but IF deck 
from ARC-38 are a bit more common.

And I did find one those at Fair, missing the narrow mechanical filter, 
so it was pretty cheap. Bought it as a spare for my RT-311, and found 
the missing filter on eBay.
