Ye olde days extra frequency mod ... Lafayette Comstat 35

[Klondike Mike]

Yikes! Stumbled across this on eBay. This is one of the most Frankenstein mods I have ever seen. Although, it might just be worth it to get those crystals for $50.

Guess lead capacitance wasn't a concern back in the day.

Only the sideband guys had frequency counters. Off-frequency AM-only radios with this kind of mod were pretty common. What do you think that "delta tune" knob is for, after all?
