These are rare Vietnam War Era CIA Spy Village Radios HT-1E (Pair). Manufactured by The Hallicrafters Company, the HT-1E transceivers were part of the CIA "Village Radio" program in Vietnam. These radios were given to local Vietnamese civilians to report on any Viet Cong activity that was observed. Features telescoping antenna (one attend head missing), an earphone and Vietnamese / English labels for the controls. These radios could transmit 0.5 watt output power AM in the 30 to 40 MHz range and were crystal controlled on a single channel.

The internals of both radios appear complete, each radio requires 8 D Cell batteries. We have not tested these radios for functionality as they are being sold as collector items not functional transceivers. Overall condition is very good to excellent.

The "Village Radio Program" was sponsored by the CIA during the Vietnam conflict, through a front organization known as the Office of Public Safety (this series of radios are also known as "OPS radios"). The purpose was to provide simple radios to the local civilians, so that they could inform officials of Viet Cong activities. The radios were built under contract with Radio Industries (a subsidiary of Hallicrafters, purchased.
