well they all had the manually diddled adjustable crystal detector? or
were the later ones replaced with a simple diode?

Also important to read the manual preface about resuscitation of shock
victim.
BTW, was looking at a Mackay manual last night ( relaxing bedtime reading
) and it appears the 123 already existed in 1937.
So I guess it maybe dated to a year, no more than 2, earlier. The first
production of 123's were for wall mounting which means to me
they had a cabinet of sorts. The later ones were fitted into a console.
This I think might account for the suffixes. There was a
123, 123A, and 123AB.
I realize this interests 6 people out of 6 billion.

A note for anyone looking to resurrect a Mackay 123:
Alignment for this rig is quite "touchy." The tuned
circuits are really sharp and it takes some patience to
get them all to track together properly. Follow the
procedure in the manual and take your time.
