Hi Mac,


T.O. 12R2-3SCR274-2 of 25 July 1956 indicates that the three transmitter
racks and mounts were not (yet) manufactured at the time of publication.
I'll bet there were precious few of the four-receiver racks/mounts either.

I would think all of these to be great rarities, if even all were ever
actually manufactured.

I suspect Mike Hanz is our best authority on these and may even have a few.
The only one of any of these that I've ever seen (in photos) is the
FT-331-A.
