P.S. I should have mentioned that the "S" after 2-40C means an
additional band, from 200-400 kHz, and I don't think the S model covers
the entire broadcast band--just 1000 kHz and up. I don't think there's
much down in the LF band these days except for a couple of utility
stations, but maybe I'm wrong.


Avery,
Thanks for all the info on the radio. I greatly appreciate it.
No...it didn't come withthe stepped feet you asked about. It does have a
gov't tag on it saying it was made for the FCC or something like that. As
far as working condition...that's still unknown. I Haven't taken a good
close look at it yet. After I have...I'll fire it up slowly on my variac
since I have no idea how long it's been since it's been powered up. I'll
give an update on it when I get it going.

Suh-WEET! Looks like a great receiver, based on what I read in the books.
Take it easy on that bad boy. You might want to sub out the electrolytics in
the power supply before applying juice, or just do a complete recap (hint:
take notes) and then power up.

If you haven't already found it, here's a manual to download:

Probably used at one of the FCC monitoring stations rather than made
for the FCC. If the plastic dial face is yellowed or cracked, by the
way, Doyle Roberts makes a perfect replacement at a reasonable price. I
don't have contact info handy, but he sells on Radio Attic and you can
find his email there.

Thanks for the info on the dial face...yes it could use a new one.
I'll get ahold of him right away.
