[NJARC] Military Model S-130?

[Rich's Radios]

Al,

  Thanks for the link. I guess the LTC's statement "With the end of the war, these sets seem to have disappeared." explains the interest.

  What are the two cloth-like cylinders in the upper left and right corners? They seem to resemble the acoustic couplers used on old modems.
