In the scrap yard I frequent there is a military surplus AM 864/U amplifier.

This looks like the speech amplifier that went with the BC 610.
I don't have any idea what it was used for.

Anyone need this to complete their collection of whatever.
I hate to see it melted down for the metal if someone needs/wants it.

The speech amp. for the BC-610, is the BC-614...the AM 864 was used between the
control tower console to the phone lines, and on to the remote transmitter
site...TSGT REED, Radio maint. USAF Retired...

Thanks for the replies. This thing is still setting on the back of an
abandoned junk truck in the rain.
I guess I will have to buy it and clean it up a little to see if it is
OK, or at least, repairable.

Not in this as a business, but I hate to see it destroyed. I also hate
to bring this stuff home and "then"
throw it in the dumpster.
