FWIW - Looks like a Medium Wave and Shortwave
Active Pre-Selector to Me.



It's a Super 12 converter -- plugs between the car radio and car antenna
and tunes the 10, 11, 15, 20, 40 and 75 meter amateur radio bands as
well as some shortwave broadcast frequencies. I've played with one many
years ago. Doesn't have provision for a BFO, though, so no CW or SSB,
unfortunately.

I had a Multi-Elmac PMR-6 receiver (broadcast plus 160 through 10 meters
with BFO and noise limiter) installed in my 1947 Jeep station wagon ca.
1966 or so (no transmitter, though).

Definitely from the tailfin era. With its vacuum tubes, would probably
take a vibrator to power in a car. Probably not worth the trouble.

According to the manual at the BAMA, it uses those late 50s car radio tubes
which could run with 12V on the plates and screens.
