Description :

Mid‑century military communication receiver built for aircraft and field‑grade service, reflecting the rugged engineering standards used across WWII and early Cold War operations. This ITA‑20D unit retains its original heavy‑duty metal housing, full front‑panel control layout, tuning dial, and intact manufacturer’s plate. Marked:

International Telephone & Radio Mfg. Corp. Radio Receiver ITA‑20D Serial No. 69 Order No. RM‑123 Made in U.S.A. Stromberg‑Carlson Tel. Mfg. Co.

Designed for reliable signal reception in demanding environments, this receiver represents the transition period between late‑war and postwar U.S. military communication systems. Additional casing markings, including E‑5Q34‑EBW, remain visible. Cables shown are included.

Condition Notes Shows age‑appropriate wear consistent with long‑stored military electronics. Patina, scuffs, and finish wear present. No operational testing performed.

Collector Appeal Highly suitable for aviation historians, WWII and Cold War communication collectors, and restoration specialists. The intact data plate and military‑grade construction make it a strong example for display, preservation, or technical restoration within mid‑century U.S. military radio history.
