Identify mystery transmitter
 

I've run these pictures past a few people, and no one has been
able to tell me what this thing is.

It is modified, probably to use on a ham band. But I would
like to know what it was originally. It looks like it has three
stages of frequency multiplication... so maybe it was VHF or something?

front with doors open which give access to tube bases, fuses, etc:

Dimensions are roughly 4ft high, 3 ft wide and 18 inches deep.
(I've got it out back if someone wants me to go look for something.)

Any guesses?

A lot of ham rigs had three doubler stages, which could be bypassed if
desired. This meant you could use a single set of crystals on 160, 80, and
40M. Slick, huh?

I'll ask Ted, W3PWW. There was one of these for sale in PA a while
back. They came in 3 sections and were in footlocker-like containers.
Something like the GO-9, but taller. Stby one......

You might be thinking of a BC-610, which, unfortunately,
this is not :-(

But! I would love to hear what Ted thinks.

No... not a BC-610, completely different. Going to Call PWW this a.m.
