[ARC5] RBM Dynamotor Set

[Roy Morgan]

Mil Radio Afficianados,

I have unearthed the Dynamotor set for an RBM radio set up.  It has input of 12 volts and output of 210 VDC at 200 ma.  That seems enough to run two receivers.  I think the thing has a three dynamotors in there, but I'm not sure yet.

I see:

"RBM
 
Shown above are: CAY-46077-A RBM-5 High Frequency Receiver
                            CAY-46076-A RBM-5 Medium Frequency Receiver
                            CAY-20086 Rectifier Power Unit.
 
CAY indicates Westinghouse manufacture.

These semi-portable receivers were designed for advanced base operations along with the TBW transmitter.  They could also be powered by a dynamotor supply. "


Apparently the RBM could be carried in a waterproof case for use ashore.  Since I have an RBB and RBC, I likely won't be looking for any RBM's, but I wonder if anyone has experience with them.
