[MRCA] FS: Rare 1930s BC-222 SCR-194 Radio Set Only, Never Issued 26-52 MHz

[Mike Feher]

Hi Mister Mike – 

 

Just today I received this one in the mail. It had the tubes and the crystal and looks like it was never used. I do like these as I used a pair as a kid.

They are indeed nice, but $550, good luck. 73 – (just) Mike

This is a very rare item.  It is a BC-222 radio receiver and transmitter set that dates from the 1930s and made for the Artillery.  It is AM, output is 750 mW and covers 26 mcs to 52mcs ( 10 meter and part of 6 meter band).  The radio comes with two plug-in coils, C-174 covers 27.7-38.5 mcs and C-175 covers 36.9 to. 52.2.  It is continuously tunable.  





Does not include the two tubes (VT-33 and VT-67) or the battery case.  This item is only the radio itself and an electronic version of the manual.  I suspect this radio was never issued.  It is MINT except for a bit of corrosion on the web belt buckles.  I have little technical information on it. Made by Majestic Radio and TV Corp in Chicago Ill. I have had this radio since I was 13 years old.  It is the only one I have ever seen.  Don’t know if it works.  Sold as-is, no returns due to parts swappers. May be just a super cool shelf queen......
