hamfest find National NC 183D

[radioactive]

today was the day of our annual fall hamfest and i was looking forward to it all week.i usally tend to get to it and try to be the first inline and get to the goodstuff before anyone else.today was no different and i was one of the first people through the door .upon entering my heart just sank as there was no more of the stuff that i use to goto hamfests for i.e tubes , books , old radios ,etc.* (well not much anyways)however i came across some beuatifull old ''boatanchors" including a national 183d which i just had to have so it followed me home.it may not be a collins r390 that i still lust after but with its push pull audio stage and the qaulity that national was known for i'm sure im in for many countless hours of listening.the receiver is very clean with a few scratches and was recently rebuilt.another plus is i got a original manual plus some factory updates and letters from national.
