Yes! Thanks, Ray!! :-)
I have always thought the BC-474 to be one of the most interesting and fun mil radios in existence.
They are just so cute.
I have been watching for one that would be available at a "reasonable" price.
So far (after many years looking) no luck, but I haven't given up yet. I'll keep looking.
I really would love to be able to show the young hams how well "basic" radio can work.
I had even thought about building a replica, at least a "work-alike" one, anyway.

Thanks for the video, Ray.
My very favorite WWII "ground pounder" radio, mostly because of its simplicity.
