[Milsurplus] FW: Prosser Electronics Sale

[Paul Thekan]

I too have to agree on that poor choice of a rather putrid looking grey. I
recently salvaged the coils and pwr supply from one that was in bad
cosmetic shape (could it get any worse looking) after being stored a few
decades in a lawn shed. The coils will get a black crackle paint make over
to be used with a Signal Corps HRO-7R . The supply I need for the WW2
Australian HRO AMR-100. I'll go back for the radio and pull the chassis out
and any parts...other than the cabinet.
