There were many radio sets made for the navy, air force & army that used crystals. It's nice to have C/l\ xtals just for historical purposes.
I do have a copy of a letter from the Dept. of Transport written in the 1950s during the cold war. It stated that those 19 sets used by the Civil Defense agencies must be converted to crystal control.
I've never seen one but then again what I thought was a ham mod may have been an official mod.
If you can, get the xtals as there are a few people that collect them.
