[Milsurplus] Japan HRO and such

[Mike Feher]

I used to have a real nice one with all coils and even the PS. Sold it years
ago along with a lot of German sets to one collector. 73 – Mike

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.
