Re: Ex marine AM radio equipment.
Hello Geoff,
I have a Harvey-Wells too, the 1950s TBS-50D Bandmaster and VFO, in fact it's my avatar for this group.
Wasn't there a policy by the US Civil Defense to issue such sets to selected hams in the event of WW3 happening? I have certainly seen photos of TBS-50s with a CD sticker on the side and I think also some yellow markings. The TBS-50 has provision in the manual for converting to 2 MHz and 143 MHz for Civil Air Patrol use.
Be interested to see the other rigs you have, especially the French one, there were some nice sets made over there. I have a French Jupiter Radio ER504 ex-police set, runs a pair of 807s modulating another in the PA, has two dynamotors and used fixed or mobile. Pic attached.
