[Milsurplus] Downsizing - BC-455B available

[William Cromwell]

Hi,

I am moving out some of my gear that I don't use and expect to not use 
any more. I have a BC-455B, 6-9.1 MC receiver made by Western Electric 
and dressed in black. The dynamotor plug has not been soldered. There 
are a couple of small dings in the sheet metal that can be straightened 
with a little care. I never got around to it. There is an earphone jack 
in the front panel and an unpainted panel with gain control and BFO 
control. The insulator on the antenna terminal is cracked but still 
functions.Most of the screws that hold the top cover on are missing - 
just enough to keep the cover from falling off. All of those extra 
'features' were included when I got the radio.

The radio works. I am not interested in wide AM and the radio tuned 
pretty fast for CW and audio filter. I could use some of the parts - 
especially some of the sheet metal to improve one or two of my other 
command receivers. If somebody wants this radio or needs it for some 
parts just make me a reasonable offer. I don't expect to get enough to 
retire but that doesn't matter. I am already retired:) If no takers I 
will salvage a few things and dump the rest. Sell or trade. What do you 
have? Don't wait too long. I am recovering space in my small retirement 
shop. A BC-454 already went to a new home:)

I have several BC-453 and R-23 receivers that I will continue to use 
straight through and with external converters on amateur frequency 
assignments. I have an R-25 for operation on 160 meters that I will also 
keep. It needs some sheet metal and a BFO coil or a substitute BFO.

73,

Bill  KU8H
