 I doubt too many BC 654's were chopped up to make boat radios. BC 669's seemed to be more the choice
 for boat radios...as least what I've seen here in the SF Bay Area of those radios that were used for fishing boats.

I have a early post war War Assets Administration sales catalog that was being administered by Remler Radio here in
San Francisco. Pictured in it  is a  complete all  NIC's (new in the crates) SCR 284 set for $125. Probably a months+ wage back in the day.

So, THAT'S where all those BC-654s have gone! Too bad. I always thought the BC-654 was 
a neat rig. Never had one though.

So they were chopped up to make boat radios! Interesting.
