[Milsurplus] BC-733 with accessories

[Jim Whartenby]

I have seen this receiver modified to work as an early alert receiver for volunteer firemen to call them to the firehouse.  There must have been tons of these radios made for WW2.Jim

It's an ILS localizer receiver. The up down indication is driven by the glide slope receiver. As long as it has the correct crystals, it will still work at airfields that still have the traditional ILS system.

 Free for shipping.  
  Two BC-733 VHF "lateral guidance" receiver with accessories. Crystal controlled, 108 to 110 MHz. One was a gift from Clare Owens, the rest I acquired over the years. 
  Not much good for anything but poking around just for fun. However back in 1959, Ken Grayson did an article in CQ on easily converting to 2 or 6 Meters.  All neccesary accessories including plugs, control box, and 2 indicators... one NIB (Left/Right needle on a single meter plus an Up/Down needle to be connected to an altimeter). Also a copy of the manual, Army Air Forces T.O. 08-10-104 
  The photo tells all. I will pack for shipping, but be careful what you ask for: total of about 50 pounds. 
  Really beautiful inside, with all original crystals, plus a copy of the CQ conversion article. 
  More photos available 
  If no takers, it all goes you know where. 
  Thanks,
