WW2 US Navy COLLINS MODEL MBF RECEIVER & TRANSMITTER VERY NICE

  

Manufactured for the US Navy, the Collins MBF Radio Transceiver was specifically designated as COL-43065. It was a piece of equipment used by the US Navy and is documented in the Navy Radio manual NAVSHIPS 900,508. Made of brass, aluminum, and steel by Collins, this MBF Radio Transceiver Unit is in EXCELLENT used condition! It is a bit dirty, but retains 95% of its original paint!

Various marks, scratches and wear due to the age, but nothing that detracts. All data plates are intact, and it is 100% complete internally, apart from one missing tube. The previous owner added an electrical cord to supply power.

It does turn on, so it is functional to a degree... But I did not have a radio antenna to test it fully (also the missing tube will play a factor). Comes with the original shock mount platform that is usually missing.

FANTASTIC addition to any collection or display!
