Almost. Actually the BC610 was built from HT-4 parts with additions and
likely several variations in transformer vendors. The movie referenced
here earlier show those difference details very clearly. Things like
shock mounts for the whole thing, tube base clamps, vacuum padder for
the PA instead of a spindly fixed air capacitor, guides for the band
modules, and pull rings on the ends of those modules. I recall that many
ham stations were bought early in the war, so likely a few HT-4 went to
war in their original form also, as did many a receiver, and ham.
