[Milsurplus] FW: Prosser Electronics Sale

[Paul Thekan]

I like the older black crackle HROs..as well as the post war HROs that are
black crackle.  I like my HRO 7C and a HRO 50R-1 that like Hues has a dead
pwr xfmr.
I got the front panel of a Coast Guard R-460  and it's S meter and PW
dial.  It's a painted a nice gray. I'm hoping to find a cosmetically
challenged HRO 50T or 50T1, that had the added IF stage, that I can maybe
repurpose it into a R-460
I'm guessing the R-460 is probably a 50 R1 in uniform.
