Hi Vern,

Maybe you could upload the file to "dropbox" and post the link.  I upload
files 20 - 40 meg and they download just fine.

I would definitely want a copy.

73,

Bill, WA2DVU

Some of those early prices were pretty unrealistic. The SCR-583, what
surplus hound was going to pay that ? Or the SCR-284, when other places sold
the radio alone, condition all the way from new to used, for $15 - $50 ?  I
think when you scale the money  up for today, the BC-645 was not really a
bargain, especially when you saw what you got, and how ugly the conversions
turned out, and how minimally useful. But the dealers had stacks and stacks
of them to push out. I suppose it was a good bed for some UHF experiments,
but less than an ideal "learning kit".

>If anyone is interested, I have a scanned copy of G & G Catalog No. 67
(Maybe from 1967?).  It is 7.7 MB pdf size; but may be able to reduce the
size to make it easier to email to anyone.  

How about a BC-645 complete package for $26.95.  Radio Set SCR-583 complete
for $575, SCR-284 set complete for $475.

The catalog has a lot of detail on each Mil sets for sale.  Great piece of
history.
