Wade: If you can send me the picture of the black unit, I can look at it a little closer. It looks like that unit might be earlier vintage -- perhaps early 30s. Their are some great pictures of that RBC-5 Receiver available. It seems to be a good candidate for restoration as it runs on 115v or at least seems to -- They were made in the 50s so I would guess the USS Alabama was put back into service for a period of time after WWII. Thanks so much for posting this 73... Mark
