[R-390] Another BA

[Jim Brannigan]

This weekend I was in Boston looking at colleges with my daughter.
I snuck away Sunday to visit "Old Ironsides", a very worthwhile trip.
Moored next to the Constitution was a WWII destroyer (I forget the name)
Mounted in the bulkhead of the destroyer's ward room was a receiver I did
not recognize.
The tag identified it as a RBO-2 by EH Scott.  It had a slide-rule dial that
was marked with the Ham and short-wave bands. The frequency coverage was BC
to 25 megs or so.  There were "bass" and "treble" controls, so it appears
that this radio was used for news, music, etc. rather than ships
communication.

Has anyone run across one?
