[MRCA] [MMRCG] GE Portamobil

[Ray Fantini]

They had some of the Watkins Johnson rack mounted hybrid VHF receivers and some huge Racal receiver that both sold for $30 or so, a lot of little items like Simpson meters and assorted odds and ends. Then they always have one or two high end items like this year they had a Norden M series Bombsight on its maintenance stand along with some other bombsight parts for around $1,000.00, was told they have several and this one was missing the eye cup.
Only time I have ever seen one up for sale before.
A lot of this is determined by what they get in every year in the form of donations, in the past I bought a lot of weird stuff there.

I've wanted to fool with one of those GE vhf's as well but just haven't gotten the "round tuit" yet......a fine looking radio......

The museum is a great place, always wanted to see their storage barns..... Anything of real interest at the sale ?

Was at a sale this past weekend at the National Electronics Museum and they usually have a big lot of stuff that may be duplicates of what’s in there collection and other stuff that they get thru donations of estates.
They mark down the price of items as the day goes on and by the end of the day there were a bunch of items that were at the $1.00 each level so I was not able to resist.
Picked up an old HF AM Sonar marine radio, a VHF Motorola Micor and what’s most interesting to me an old General Electric Porta Mobile VHF transceiver with the battery pack and microphone. Just for fun would like to get this thing working on a simplex frequency. It’s currently on 143.9/148.10 but I want to put it on a simplex.
The transmitter looks like the standard FC/12 and the receiver is FC+20/9 so if anyone has rocks for those old GE portables please contact me of list.
