I've run these pictures past a few people, and no one has been
able to tell me what this thing is.

It is modified, probably to use on a ham band. But I would
like to know what it was originally. It looks like it has three
stages of frequency multiplication... so maybe it was VHF or something?

Dimensions are roughly 4ft high, 3 ft wide and 18 inches deep.
(I've got it out back if someone wants me to go look for something.)

Any guesses?

A lot of ham rigs had three doubler stages, which could be bypassed if
desired. This meant you could use a single set of crystals on 160, 80, and
40M. Slick, huh?

I'll ask Ted, W3PWW. There was one of these for sale in PA a while
back. They came in 3 sections and were in footlocker-like containers.
Something like the GO-9, but taller. Stby one......

You might be thinking of a BC-610, which, unfortunately,
this is not :-(

But! I would love to hear what Ted thinks.

No... not a BC-610, completely different. Going to Call PWW this a.m.
