[Milsurplus] Crated Aircraft - painted aircraft ID on radios

[George Babits]

Un-soldered joints happened all the time.  Nothing unique to surplus, or any 
specific radio.  I had a Collins 32S-1 with an un-findable intermittent. 
Finally found that one connection INSIDE one of the IF transformers had 
never been soldered.

73,
