Wow, that brings back memories. That is a receiver which came into
being right around when I did (1950's).

The tubes in it alone worth something (can be hard to get replacements
these days, just price them!)

I sat before one of those for untold hours in my younger days ... shame
SW is so empty these days ... :-( It was an EXCELLENT RECEIVER ...

Regards,
JS

What's the green thing by the headphone jack?

A very common modification, especially by the Navy, was to add a jack
there to monitor the diode load voltage, this makes their regular
maintenance much much easier. NAVSHIPS-0967-063-2140 documents this.

Isn't there a Diode Load terminal on the back already?

BTW: That paint job looks awful. Too shiny. I had 2 of those beasts
and liked a slightly worn look a lot better.

They aren't that difficult to tweak to superior performance. I
wouldn't spend more than $500 for one with a good RF deck.

The NAVSHIPS document states that a Dymo label should be affixed by the
jack.

Related to your other comment, I think that the one on the E-place has
been repainted.

My yellow striper came with the decades-old Dymo stickers still
attached. I swear the glues in modern Dymo labels aren't as good.

But the P-touch makes suitable substitutes that look great and adhere
very well.

==================================
If you mean the P-touch from Brother, yes that's an excellent type of
label(er)
