I saw an eBay listing for a Lear ADF. It looked surprisingly like a Bendix
T-12B, also known as an ADF-201B. This particular model has the tuning dial
right in the center of the front panel, and it is a solid state unit. The
only difference it that the Bendix unit uses a 140kHz I.F. I do have service
information for this model.

Does anybody know of a small, easy to obtain receiver that can receive 85
kcs? Tube type, surplus OK.

I have an old Lear ADF that was cut out of a plane decades ago. The cables
were whacked off, and I can't find a schematic. Someone did send me a
schematic of a set very close in model to the one I have, so I do have
that. However, most of the circuitry in the radio is dedicated to the DF
capacity, which I don't need or want. There are three subchassis, and
probably 15 tubes.

I want to use the small tuning head, which has an 85 kcs IF output, to
feed
something like a Q-5er that would serve as IF and audio.

If I can't find one, I have an R-11a that I could feed the tuning head
output into it's IF strip.

I'm trying to kludge up a homebrew longwave/BCB DX rig.
