Hi Chris
My mistake the other valve is a VR136 not VR138 the unit is a bit
tarnished, strange that transmitting valve is there? I can't believe
its a transmitter, or transmits in any way, there is no change over and
the controls and connections are real simplicity, it looks like a
straightforward simple HF receiver? Anyway thanks for the info, I guess
by the lack of replies its an unusual one

VR136 is another B9G base, and is an EF54, again with a maximum operating
frequency of 300MHz.

I'll have to dig out my Yeeha! password and have a look at the photo.

One thought: if it's steel-cased it's probably ground based kit, as most
of the airborne stuff was aluminium to save weight.

Chris.
