Sure. They were still common when I got my first ham license in 1959. I
never owned one, but I worked numerous stations that had them (with my WRL
Globe Chief and Hallicrafters S-107).


You can STILL find them at hamfests. For years in the 60/70's; DoD would
close another WWII warehouse and a dump a few thounsand more on the
market...
