[Milsurplus] PAR ( Pan American Radio ) 35C

[Ken Kinderman]

Nice tube, the 815. It was used in RCA’s ATB transmitter, an attempt to pair with the ARB receiver.

On the topic of marine radio units, can any one help with correct nomenclature for the (then) marine band transceiver made by Western Electric? I saw one listed on eBay as (I think) a TRC-107. The seller insisted on pick-up only, then it disappeared. Front panel maybe 10x14 with a speaker and a front-mounted handset. Little vernier for rx tuning. Typical Western Electric knob styles, as on the ARC-4. 

Thanks
