Yesterday, we showed a Hallicrafters “morale” receiver from 1945, and today, we see this ad for another one, from the May 1945 issue of Radio News.  This femme fatale has taken an interest in this soldier, and it’s not out of the question that she’s a spy.  Fortunately, she won’t get anything out of him, because all he does is sing the praises of the Ecophone Model EC-1 morale receiver.

He’ll tell her that the set is a compact communications receiver with every necessary feature for good reception, and that it tuned from 550 kHz to 30 MHz in 3 bands.  He’ll let slip that it has an electrical bandspread, six tubes, a built-in speaker, and that it runs off 115-125 volts AC or DC.  But since none of that was classified, the Army had nothing to fear.
