[ARC5] For "Green" Day: GF-10 / RU-15 "Reserve" Set

[David Stinson]

Well it's "Earth Day" so let's talk "green."
Several people asked me about the serial numbers
on these 12-volt, green-plated GF/RU sets.    
I have one GF-10 with shock, two RU-15s 
each with dual coils and one with shock, 
a receiver control box with mount and, 
through the great kindness of one of our members,
the junction box.  
I don't know how many aircraft the Naval Reserve
had flying in 1939, but I can't imagine it was more
than a few hundred.  

The set contract number is 
NOs-70053  Date 12-21-39

Serial Numbers
GF-10  #312
RU-15  #291
RU-15  #396

Which are actually higher than I expected.
All of them have paint issues.
I haven't gotten to the control boxes yet but
will posts those numbers if anyone is interested.
