One eBay photo shows an Adcock antenna connection so the radio is intended to be an RDF receiver.Jim

I have a question for the groups. What was this receiver used for ? It is VHF in the 150 MHz band. One pix shows a socket on chassis top
 
marked “VERTICAL INPUT” which i don’t quite get.
 
It’s on Ebay right now, $1750 ask. If it was $50 local, i would jump for it, just to learn more. Altho it’s kind of too big for me to keep, for what
 
it does. ( “Fun factor”. )
