NC-183D anomoly?

[Bob W5EUQ]

The color is more like the NC173 receiver than the NC183D.  I'd guess 
that it is an early "rack mount" version of the darker colored NC183D.  
I had the 183D for my receiver in 1956 or 7... can't remember.  But it 
was a great receiver and it DID work on 6 meters.  HOWEVER, I built a 6 
meter converter and it did work better.... HI. 
I had an RME45 before that, and an NC125 National and before that an 
S38B Hallicrafters. The NC183D served me well until 1964.  Got a Drake 
TR3 then and a Drake 2B. 

Have fun with the wrong color NC183D... actually, I'd guess that it 
might be an NC183R......
