Has anyone ever heard of the Lear Incorporated VHF Receiver model
LR-5B? It is an old unusable but very interesting aviation radio, and
appears to be early 30's vintage. There are two knobs (one for
volume, one for tuning) and the round dial tuning range covers 108 to
127 megacycles. Physical size is 3"H x 6"W x 8"Deep. My son gave it
to me for a hangar display, but now having received it, I cannot help
but wonder about its history. If anyone has a lead, or knows the
kinds of aircraft it was used in, (or ever used one) I would love to
know more. I do not get any hits when searching via Google. Thanks--

Sir, I used one a few times in a friends C 140 in the 60s. You had to take when tuning it.
