It is an old unusable but very interesting aviation radio, and appears to be early 30's vintage. There are two knobs (one for volume, one for tuning) and the round dial tuning range covers 108 to 127 megacycles. Physical size is 3"H x 6"W x 8"Deep. My son gave it to me for a hangar display, but now having received it, I cannot help but wonder about its history. If anyone has a lead, or knows the kinds of aircraft it was used in, (or ever used one) I would love to know more. I do not get any hits when searching via Google.
