Groups,
I'm now looking for all the pieces to assemble a 14 volt GF/RU set to go in
the TD being restored up in College Station. At the moment, of usable items I
have one RU-10 dynamotor and some of the connectors and the receiver local
tuning knob. And may have one RU-18 dynamotor. Rather than listing what I need,
I'll say that I apparently don't need the remote tuning head (coffee
grinder). I need everything else. If anyone has the infamous junction box I'd like
photos and dimensions (I'm assuming it wouldn't be for sale).
I have a very nice condition RU-19 receiver (28 volt) which I could trade for
a 14 volt one. It is sitting on the matching shock mount, which would be
available only if replaced with one marked for the 14 volt receiver (or any 14
volt receiver for that matter). I have one BC-AO-430 (missing tubes) and the
black BC-A?-230 transmitter mentioned earlier I haven't inspected it inside
yet. Outside it is missing the slide catch mounting brackets front and rear. I
have one or two other (aluminum finish) parts grade transmitters that "might"
have the missing brackets. I have an assortment of plug-in tuning units,
mostly unpainted Signal Corps ones. And the other dynamotor, marked for RU-18
(according to database) but when I was looking for stuff Thursday night to show
to the USMC TD vet I'd swear I read 28 VDC off of the nameplate. So have to
check that.
