Default FS: National RAO-7, pickup only, D.C. area, $125 OBO

Navy version of NC-120.

Checked only to verify it ain't dead, which it's not--i.e., it makes
noise. Looks terrific for 65YO military rx. Chassis extremely clean,
no dents/gouges/etc. Front panel good. (Pix at
http://www.antiqueradios.com/gallery..._006.jpg.html).

Case included, good shape. Believe this was the first RAO with slide-
out chassis.

Manual included (original, not copy). Worth $25 or more by itself if
you can find one.

Quirks:
ID plates removed from front panel. Toggle switch added at top left—
wired into dial lamps, maybe for putting lamp voltage on six-contact
CJ connector also added at top right. Missing proper antenna
connector. Crystal filter phasing control seems loose, coupler to
variable cap may just need tightening but don't feel like
disassembling to find out.

Think that's it quirkwise.

Will NOT ship. Pick up near Washington DC in Potomac, MD 20854, couple
of miles outside I-495 near Rockville. 301-983-2407.

Blurb on rx from Jim Garland W8ZR:
RAO-7: Manufactured by National, identified as both CNA-46187D (see
RAO-6) and as type CNA-46233. No S-meter. 115 volts. Not identified as
the NC-120. This is the first RAO in which the chassis can be pulled
out the front for servicing. No "back porch". V-101, the added
preselector 6K7, and its variable cap section are housed in a larger
module on the main chassis. Module is not painted, has a top lid held
in place with 8 screws. Small rack mount pull-handles and capture
screws on front panel. Does not have a top-access lid. Has a twist-
lock AC power connector. Has SO-239 Panadaptor output. Manual for
RAO-7 says "The RAO-7 is the Navy model of the NC-101XA receiver. The
main difference being the addition of a second rf stage for reduced
radiation from the local oscillator and the omission of the S-meter.
The RAO is a general coverage receiver with no electrical bandspread
and covers from 540 kcs to 30 mc with an IF of 455 kc." Known contract
date: 31MAY1945 (for 1073 receivers and 1073 spare parts sets). Same
tubes as RAO-2 and 6.
