The NC100X is a classic National design using catacomb coils switching,
designed by James Millen. Assuming the coil sliding mechanism is not
damaged, it should be easily restorable.

It is a band switching HRO design. These radios carried the allies through
WW II. The decoding specialists preferred National (although they were
often the HRO variety).

The CAA (prior to the FAA) used similar models for communications on the
national airways. Many operated for decades.

And, they have the art deco look to them. They can hang out with the best
of them.

thanks collin, it helps to know where they fit in and how they were
regarded. that's the kind of input i needed. i have been hanging out
in the late 40's and early 50's and wanted to make a (quality) step
backwards.
