I have a KWM-2A that had a sticker on front bottom, left hand corner
that reads Tobyhanna. Seems there was another word on the sticker but I
don't remember what and I could not find the sticker before submitting
my two cents worth. I spoke to a friend, who was in a position to know,
WW II Veteran and Ham Operator said that Tobyhanna was a high level
depot maintenance center. I have never heard any different description.

To my understanding, Tobyhanna is/was a salvage disposal facility for obsolete military gear. Some comments here please, as I straighten out my friends thinking. 73s Russ.
