[Milsurplus] Refurbed (?) U.S. Navy RAS Receiver

[Paul Thekan]

Dave..never seen labels like this before. Maybe you can back track from
whom you got this RAS from. I'm guessing maybe some non mill radio type
restored - had repainted but didn't like the data plates or they were all
missing and then did his own including the ones he made for the controls
and the plug in coil. Did a very nice job of it.
Hope you can find the person who did this...and hopefully if they did
remove the data plates..still has them.

I have a post war repaint RAS with the orig tags...though they forgot to
put back the data plate on the pwr supply ..mine is missing.

Let us know if you find out the story about this RAS
