[Milsurplus] Watkins Johnson WJ-8626A-4

[Ray Fantini]

Sold several of them out at Dayton this spring. The frames are way harder to get then the receivers and also have an external time base that lives on the back of the frame.  The remote control only versions were supposed to be capable of operating from the local control of any of the radios but was never able to get that sort of stuff to work.
A lot of the receivers along with their VHF/UHF version and spectrum displays have been dumped and replaced by little SDR receivers that cost a fraction of what they did and take a fraction of the space.
Never saw a manual for them, imagine you would ship them back to the vendor when they broke.  I have the VHF version with spectrum display on the bench at home with a blown power supply that I have to get to.

Hi Kids!

One of these HF RX units followed me home.  Does anyone near Boston have one of the mainframes that this will plug into so I can see if it works?
