You can just barely see those twin half-moon dials in one of the photos in the book. Though you have to wonder how many A and B batteries it took to run that set! Bet there was no other "ballst" on that big raft. Most pre-war Hammarlund rx manuals have diagrams showing how to hook up batteries. Yep, a 20-tube Super-Rpo 400. Wonder how many minutes it could run like that? --Mike K. Oscar loves trash, but hates Spam! Delete him to reply to me. |
