Back from our Christmas trip and
the RAV dynamotor has arrived.
It is CBY-21513, contract NOs-72445 13 March 1940.
Navy acceptance test date of July 1941.
The serial number is 316, which means it was
originally issued on RAV 3-6 MC receiver, serial #40
( RAT and RAV dynamotors and remote drawers
were issued with their own sequential serial numbers.
So the dynamotors issued with set #1 were numbered
1 to 8, those with set #2 9-16 etc.).
The motor itself, maker's Type DM-310,
was produced for A.R.C. by Continental Electric Co., Inc.
The 1.5-3.0 MC ARA looks good outside with no
drill holes but is "fiddled" a bit inside, with missing
remote drawer socket and rewired fils.
Looks very recoverable.
I think I know who needs it.... ;-)
