[Milsurplus] [MRCA] BC-610-E for sale

[Bruce Gentry]

I have seen  WW2 gear that survived mouse infestation quite well. The 
MFP varnish seemed to protect  the coated metal parts even from mouse 
wizz,  which is very hygroscopic. I never saw that much wiring damage 
either, the varnish is probably unappetizing, and toxic besides.  The 
seller did not mention or picture any extra coils or tuning units, and 
finding and buying those takes patience.  I wouldn't mind taking on one 
that is complete with all the coils, tuning boxes, and audio amplifier 
but in condition like this one, or even a bit worse as a restoration 
project if it was within reasonable distance and not  expensive.   They 
are quite rugged and will survive some really aweful conditions. Today, 
with digital and/or cable TV and mostly FM radio listening, the chance 
of bothering anyone with an original one of these on 160-40 meters is 
small.
