After WW2 I bought several SCR522 ex aircraft TXRX's..the rcvers
contained 955 and 954 acorn valves..these sets were easily modified to
work on 2M..am..I had many contacts on that band using the scr522.I
also built a copy of the BC221 frequenct meter in which I used an acorn
tube instead of the original octal based valve..it worked very
well..they were extremely reliable and mostly only died of old age..
It was agreat era..
73 and Happy Xmas to all..
Gordon VK2AGE..
