Breck, et al

RCA used the designation AR = Amateur Radio for a lot of stuff that was not "commercial" product.  As a matter of fact the original Armstrong superheterodyne broadcast receiver was designated AR-812

RCA introduced the screen-grid (tetrode) vacuum tube, a superior RF amplifier, in 1927 as the 222.  Almost immediately they brought out one of my favorite receivers the AR-1496 a short-wave TRF-autodyne.   This was a forerunner of radios like the National SW-3.   Some videos of my set in action HERE.

This rec recently seen at an estate sale. I think 3 bands, top 600 kHz. No type number on it i could see. Also was in a stack where i could not get a better look or better photo. I guess maybe out of some Coast Guard cabinet also holding the transmitter ?
