[ARC5] TBS Radios

[J. Forster]

I had one as a teen. I bought it new in a crate. The MG set was just
impossible to move because of its weight. It's now on the Destroyer Haida.
Jerry Proc's set photos are of that set.

I never had the headset or remote control box.

I was kindly given a bunch of crystals a couple of years ago by a list
member, which went to the Haida and Massachusetts. Some of the crystals
were matched sets. Either the Destroyer Kennedy or sub Lionfish in
Battleship cove has a TBS as I remember, so it would be possible to really
Talk Between Ships. LoL.
