Jim said he thought this other case was the second tube tester. So i decided i would take a look, altho i had no interest in a tube
tester at this point. I moved a couple things off it and opened the case. Lo and behold, what do we have here? Someone took a
whole lot of effort to make this conversion – and not a bad conversion, if i may opine. Maybe better to have it in the original issue
cabinet, but not a bad conversion, and look, he actually retained the original equipment nameplate too. The thing is HEAVY.
It has a dual voltage DC / AC power supply in it, and the transformer looks “key down 24x7” size, much bigger than called for ina 10 watt input radio. The covered cabinet has two levels, fits snugly, and had to be specially made for this project. I need to learn
who SK ham did this work so i can honor his name .
( BC-474 U.S. Army radio, 1942 – 1945. 2.5 – 6.5 MHz, 10 watts input, 6V6 final. A U.S. Army modification – improvement of an RCA
commercial product. )
