What is a ‘Budelman 128B’ receiver? I am familiar with a ( i think ) Mackay 128B, but that i think is a way different animal ? This is the one with “WCCO” painted near bottom of it.
It was offered by my friend Pete K9HXW, who said that the name refers to Fred Budelman, who was chief engineer of the Fred M. Link Company. As you probably know, Link is credited in large part for the use of FM for two-way police radio communications instead of AM. Here's a for-sale listing of a 250 watt 30-50 MHz transmitter made by Budelman Radio Corp. of Stamford CT:

And here is a photo of Mr. Budelman himself:
Budelman was involved with FM and also AM transmitters and paging systems. WCCO is a class A 50KW AM station in Minneapolis. But I can't think of an application for this small receiver that would connect these two dots.
