[Milsurplus] FW: Prosser Electronics Sale

[Hubert Miller]

I agree that the HRO-7 is butt ugly but i think it would have been even uglier in black wrinkle. It's just ugly. 
The HROs i prefer are light colored, like grey. Apparently from the Nat'l catalog grey was available in the 
HRO, at least ones before the -5 ? I owned an AMR-101, which i kinda regret selling, and i liked very much
the grey finish. I have a ( German ) KST and i tell you, it looks much better than black, plus the knobs are
more stylish. ( Would you expect otherwise from a European product ? )  I have a Japanese HRO also, and
that one has a nice Japanese army light green. ( I understand mine might be a "Model 65", different from 
the grey "Chi-Ichi" "Ground-Air Receiver No.1" .  ( I don't know why the Japanese "HRO" is so uncommon
here. I suppose they were not produced in any numbers, as the standard receiver for ship and ground 
stations both was that huge beast, "Special Receiver 92". And if you Google it, the only pix you see is NOT
the receiver. )
At Puyallup i bought a National HFS just to get the power supply. I offered to buy the power supply alone
for his price, but he said i had to take it all. That PS i think i will match up with the HRO-5TA1 i have, which
i am going to sell. I bought separately off Ebay the HRO ham bandspread coils to go with it.
I have a nice looking HRO-50 in the Coast Guard R-460 nameplate now. It lacks the power transformer
( I think in common with all vintage Nationals ) and i have only the 7 - 14 Mcs. coil. Looks "real military"
but somehow i don't think i should go down that diversion path.
