It also has a plug-in mechanical filter for the IF. That's from
memory, I no longer have it.

Hello, list...Long time, no talk to. Not too long ago, I happened on a Rare
Byrd...A Specific Products WWV Compator/Receiver. All it does is pick up WWV
on several different freqs,  but it has an Oscilloscope, & a panel-mounted
speaker. I did get a manual for it, but the  manual is for a slightly
later-July, 1962-model. Anybody else out there have one of these l'il
beasties ? Anybody know anything about them ? Its pretty much useless now,
but back in '62, there was no internet, & if you NEEDED precise time, I
guess you got one of thease things. It DOES rate a 9.5 on the Kewlness
meter-I mean, c'mon-It BEEPS, it is full of Tubes, looks like hi-grade
construction, & best of all, it has a Scope...I would appreciate any/all
info that you guys can offer-I MIGHT do an article in "Electric Radio" on
it. Cheers, Sandy Geiger, Rogersville, TN
