Hmmm.....a Japanese copy of a Collins receiver. Now, why doesn't that
surprise me? Well, it does say it was made under license. I get a
chuckle out of the shot right above it. Looks like a RAL or RAK? Caption
reads in part:

 "Both of them weren't aware of the fact that the machine was the
highest-class masterpiece of US Navy in that time."

I always thought these rigs were designed in the mid-late 30s? Even if
they got ahold of this rig in the 40's, I'm thinking it wasn't the
top-of-the-line rig that the description implies?
