[ARC5] Help with SCR-274N radio package (2)

[Paul Redlich Tri-State Warbird Museum]

Hello,

My name is Paul Redlich and I work for the Tri-State Warbird Museum in
Cincinnati, OH. We recently purchased a 1943 Curtiss P-40M WWII fighter
aircraft in New Zealand. This particular aircraft is a true "warbird" as it
was flown by New Zealand's highest scoring "double ace" Geoff Fisken with 13
kills in the South Pacific. Mr. Fisken is alive and well at 93 living in New
Zealand and is assisting us in documenting the authenticity of the
restoration. 

The plane was rescued from a New Zealand scrap yard in 1964 and was in
storage until our purchase in 2005. The fuselage contained all of the
original radio racks and cockpit mountings and the majority of the original
wiring harness. It is our intention to wire the aircraft and the radios with
a reproduction of the original cotton jacketed wiring. In addition the
airframe is being assembled with all of the original cockpit furnishings,
instruments, armament, gun sight, and will use only the original cadmium
Type I (silver) plated hardware and woven-end control cables.

In an attempt to keep the restoration as authentic as possible I want to
incorporate all of the original radio equipment. The plane was equipped with
an SCR-274N radio package when it left the Buffalo, NY factory in 1943. I'm
seeking to purchase as many of these original radio components as possible. 

Can you help?

Cheers for now,

Paul Redlich
