RE: [ARC5] RE: SCR-522 - New

[Taigh Ramey]

Hello Mac,

Thanks again Mac for the heads up on that. I would have missed it if it
wasn't for your message.

I saw the local control test box that she had up for sale but I already have
one. 

Now if I can just get it to arrive in the same condition that I bought it I
will be happy. It has been my experience that UPS tends to roll heavy
packages to our door. I have had better luck with USPS. 

The worst was a Norden bomb sight head that was beautiful when purchased.
Poor packing and lousy handling just destroyed that sight. Insurance
provides little compensation when compared to the heartache of seeing a
piece of history destroyed. Just makes me sick.

The control box had what appeared to me
to be three pushbuttons.  I don't know the
actual equipment.

Taigh,

Very good!   I can't think of a better place for the old rig to end up.

Believe the control head offered by the same seller was actually a neat
little test fixture that allowed the 522   to be operated out of the 
aircraft.
The pilot's control box up in the cockpit was a pushbutton affair as you
probably know.
