Boatanchors were fun when electricity was 2 cents a Kilowatt hour. I've
had 2 [ea] R390-As, a Westinghouse branded RA-17 series, RCA 18 Mhz
receiver from the War, BC-348, etc. Got it out of my system. Still use
tubes for music.


...a Westinghouse branded RA-17 ? Are you joking ??


A RACAL radio with a Westinghouse procurement contract tag is no joke.


So Westinghouse bought it from Racal in order to re-sell it to the guv-
mint ?
