I bet there are a few Navy and Coast Guard Radiomen that remember the Gibson Girl.. I know she was my girlfriend and reserved me a seat on the Captains gig on a Tin Can - long ago...

I have a very nice example of this radio, very cool looking, and it has a receiver!  Not nearly as well built as the AN/CRT-3, though.
