[NJARC] DC Power in NYC?

[Ray Chase]

Quite a few years ago I got a lead on a AK metal case chairside (called 
the "stove") in an upper 5th Ave.east side apartment.  I wanted one and 
was in the city anyway so followed up on the lead.  Elderly lady, grew 
up in the apartment and continued to live there after her family passed 
away.  Now going to assisted living place so getting rid of stuff.  
Really cobbled up inside but I was there so I took it (had to use the 
service elevator and the back alley service entrance, coudn't drag that 
radio through the hoity-toity entrance).  When I got home it really was 
cobbled, originally a DC set that some shop klugged into an AC set 
probably during WWII when you could not buy a set.  All I got out of it 
was a half way decent case that now has a correct chassis in it.
