[R-1051] Six pack attack

[Ray Fantini]

Mr. B has one of his T-827 listed on EBay now and looking at it can see  it has the 1000 CPS knob so I imagine that makes it the same six pack as the 1051 B/C? think only the oldest straight 1051 did not have that additional knob?

You can see the item in question at:

If anyone is interested in one of those things he told me he would sell them for less. Looking at what's stuffed into a R-1051 and the T-827 makes you wonder just how they fit all that into the same box for the RT-618?

Question: There are tons of R-1051 receivers around, so you know a lot were deployed in large numbers. For some strange reason seeing some T-827 also but the RT-618/URC-35 from my experience just don't show up in the same numbers. Was the URC-35 a dog? Is that why you don't see them? I had one opportunity to buy one years ago and that was for a lot of money so did not do it and it went fast. The Sunair URC-92 and stuff is plentiful and cheap and at least in my experience a way better radio but it has the advantage of being ten years newer. I have owned, repaired and sold several of them along with owning several R-1051 receivers and I have a strange Harris URC-94 that I love but in years of dealing with this stuff have never owned and only saw maybe one or two URC-35 (RT-618) sets.

FWIW, I have started a chart of all the module part numbers towards the bottom of a page at http://www.navy-radio.com/rcvrs/r1051.htm

I have numbers for several R-1051 models and a couple of RT-618 models. I need to dig around for T-827 info.
Please let me know of additions, corrections, etc.
