Here are some items for sale.  Prices do not include shipping.  I will 
ship overseas.

E.F. Johnson White Face Viking Messenger 
Transceiver......................$30 plus shipping
This has a nice front panel with the correct knobs and no extra holes. 
The outer case does have a number of extra holes in it. Includes the 
original EF Johnson microphone and both ac and dc cables/connectors. The 
connecting cables are rotted and will need to be replaced before power 
can be applied. The microphone is not connected. Restore this or convert 
it to 10 meters. This appears complete but it’s untested.

Rare” National Radio NC-45.............$125 plus shipping
This is an 8 tube receiver made from 1941-1945 covering 550 kHz to 30 
MHz. Most models made were made the NC-45 which is an ac/dc receiver. 
The NC-45A has a transformer operated power supply. This radio does work 
and receives signals on all bands but it really need to be recapped and 
aligned. Cosmetically OK but also needs to be cleaned up. It has all of 
the correct knobs and I do not find any extra holes.  The insides look 
OK but also need to be cleaned up. One interesting thing that I noticed 
is that the main tuning and bandspread knobs are both weighted, rather 
heavy and appear to have come from the factory that way. I do not have a 
manual but they are available from several sources on the web. I will 
include a schematic.
