Very good condition GEC  (General Electric Co., LTD.) BRT. 400 Communications Receiver, with original documentation and a few other bits and pieces.

This radio was the main communications receiver at Nairobi airport (Used for communication between Johannesburg and Nairobi) until 1976/1977 when it was acquired by a member of staff at the Australian High Commission. The radio was fully working and came with original documentation (still present - see the photos below). At the time a wooden case was custom built to fit the radio, as it was previously rack mounted in the control tower.

The radio has only been used a few times since 1977.

The radio comes with the original communications receiver operating handbook (blue cover), a second generalised operating handbook with circuit diagrams (brown/gray cover) and radio australia schedules. Additionally, the documentation contains a letter sent by the Australian High Commission in Nairobi requesting a list of spare parts (also included). The envelope is also included, postmarked 'Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya' and 'Nairobi 2IX77 Kenya'.


Bigger Picture of the manuals

This radio has been well cared for, although it has not been tested recently. It is likely that some components (old capacitors/resistors) may no longer operate, but this is for the buyer to determine. The components do not appear damaged or corroded.

There is also the possibility that this model is the BRT 402, but all documentation refers to it as the BRT 400.

Dimensions are 60cm W, 35cm H, 50cm D and it is very heavy (built to last!). With this in mind, postage is not an option unless the buyer can work out their own courier in advance of the end of the auction. Please communicate with me if you are unsure.

Otherwise, the item is pickup from North Sydney, NSW, Australia. Cash on pickup is preferred.
