arn6 rings a bell and I may have had one of those myself. Wasn't that the vhf glide slope rx with b7g (6ak5 etc) valves and crystal control ?. Black crackle paint and the same external format as the command receivers ?.
Long gone, but it would be good to get one of those running now, just for the aroma of valve electronics and warmed up components :-)...

Chris

Not me. But I did have a friend who was an expert safecracker (~35 years ago, I'm sure he's dead now). Many bank jobs. But he got parole in exchange for instructing banks and the FBI on how it was done. He had a janitorial business after that. When I was working late at night in ICE's lab he approached me with his ideas and indicated a need for engineering help. We went into business together making motion detectors :-) ...Jim Thompson

Thermite is used by the military to destroy abandonded equipment. Set off a thermite grenade on the top of an engine, and it will burn all the way through the oil pan. It leaves it beyond repair.

Before burning through the oil pan, it does the engine a little damage too ;)

Only if you consider a 3" hole from the top of the engine and out through the oil pan as damage.

No, but cutting the crankshaft in half does.
