Al,

Sounds like a Navy model RBC receiver.  Following quote is from Bill's
(NJ7P) Ham Radio WWW Server:  "Receiver, shipboard, superhet, 4.0-27 MHz,
ca. 1940, like RBB except freq. range and 6AB7 first RF tube. Used with
CRV-20130 rectifier"

A true boatanchor if I ever saw one.

Regards,

Paul DeFayette
