fred Title: Re: We had nothing on this late Radioman Post by: k4kyv on March 19, 2008, 06:56:34 PM I recall seeing in a military museum in the 1960's, some captured Viet-Cong radios from early in the war. They were about as JS as anything I have ever seen Hammy Hambone throw together, using aluminium cooking pans for chassis, and had tube-type circuitry (state-of-the-art miniature tubes and other components of the era) crammed together in point-to-point wiring, with pencil markings for dial calibrations. Components appeared to have mostly come out of broadcast radios and TV's. But they were said to have served their purpose very effectively.
