[R-390] LS-206A Loudspeaker Assembly

[William G. Mills]

The Radiomart LS-206 loudspeaker assembly listed on E-bay is not a stock LS-206.  The orginial LS-206 and LS-206A loudspeaker assemblies did not have the carry handles.  I was a U.S. Army Signal Corps Platoon Leader (2nd Lieutenant) of a HF Radio Platoon (Company C, 304th Signal Battalion) in Korea in 1962-63.  My platoon had 12 each AN/GRC-26D radio trucks as well as the AN/MRC-2 HF radio system (HF receiver truck with racks of R-390A receivers and a transmitter truck with T-368 transmitters).  Each rack of R-390A receivers had a LS-206 loudspeakers assembly.

I purchased a LS-206A manufactured by Oneida Electronics Serial Number 21 from Fair Radio Sales several years past.  The LS-206A was manufactured under a 1963 U.S. Army Signal Corps contract.

Buyer beware when dealing with Radiomart.
