Antique store had a few 200As for $25 each. Snatched em all up and got them working again. One black band from 1952. The others from 1973. One of the 1970s models had a little toolkit attached to the bottom with mantles, a wrench, and extra generator, and some ephemera inside.
A friend stumbled upon this grave in New Haven, CT and asked if he was related to “my boy”. Found out he’s his great-grand uncle. I mean how many other people have Ruggles for a middle name?
