That place has some amazing stuff. I didn’t know they have sales, I’d be interested in going.

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.

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.
