[Milsurplus] Japan HRO and such

[Hubert Miller]

I do not know why the "Japanese HRO" is that rarely seen here. I have only seen one other in the USA, and that
was a severely hacked example that i acquired just for the 7 coil set. Now that i think of it, i do not have the
plug-in IF cans for the low freqs, so those LF coils are for looks only. This set is about as modern as Japanese
receiver technology got in WWII. I think Ben Nock has their copy of some Hammarlund like the SP-100, first
Super Pro, and that's even rarer than the HRO model. But that's absolutely as far as their technology got.
I think 'Electric Radio' had articles on the Japan HRO and the ¾ size field model, which i also have, but will
likely sell off this year. The matching transmitter came up on Epay about decade ago, but apparently the
seller jumped for one of those message offers "I will give you $xyz if you sell it to me right now" and it disappeared.
The German KST is a pretty good looking, and well built beast, and should bring respectable money, as i think
"rare HROs" are real collectible. But i still think maybe the Oz AMR-101 is the best looking of the lot, military -
wise.
