The walkie talkies have all of the parts and nothing is broken. The battery compartments are clean. I have not tested these. They came from the estate of a long time collector. Both are BC-611-D walkie talkies. One of the caps was damaged (the one with the tape on it), the damaged cap is still included, but I also located a vintage replacement cap, made of metal. The original caps are made of bakelite. From Wikipedia: The SCR-536 is often considered the first of modern hand-held, self-contained, "handie talkie" (two-way radios). It was developed in 1940 by a team led by Don Mitchell, chief engineer for (now ) and was the first true hand-held unit to see widespread use. Please see the pictures. Thanks for looking!
