Sonotronics Ultrasonic Receiver USR-96 &DH 4 and 13 similar items

Rare/Unique item: Vintage Sonotronics Ultrasonic Receiver USR-96 with what looks to be D4 hydrophone. We were told this was surplus from Natnl park service in New England, used for studying bats. We plugged in headphones (not included) and AC supply and the hydrophone and were able to hear some odd sounds as we moved the hydrophone around and as we changed the frequency. Sorry we did not have any bats on hand! Missing knob cover to adjust frequency but shaft turns fine and the knob that controls gain has a small crack. If really needed we can try to find you a knob. Some tarnish on outer jack metal sheaths/covers etc, but inside unit looks clean and dry thanks to the thick hermetic sealing on the face. We included the rechargeable batteries for reference, but assume they need replacing as they are old and did not want to charge up. (standard AA NiCd readily available cheap) Selling as you see it.
