[ARC5] PBY-5A BuNo 2459 radio and radar

[taigh at twinbeech.com]

The photo below is the exact radio compliment for the Collings PBY-5A Bureau
Number 2459. 

 

Should you all have any of the gear shown in this photo and would like it to
go to a worthy project please let me know. A few coil sets needed! There are
two RU's for the GO-9 and one RU/GF for the pilots called the intra squadron
set.

 

We have one full RU, NOS in the boxes from eBay a while ago. Two more to go.


 

Anyone have a DW-1 direction finding set or something close? Photo attached.

 

Also attached are some recent shots showing the newly made radar arrays and
paint.

 

Casey and his crew at American Aero are doing a great job for sure.

 

Thanks,

 

Taigh

Subject: NAF 38610 WWII Navy headsets needed

 

Would any of you fine folks happen to have any extra NAF38610 headsets to
donate or sell to the PBY-5 project? This is the most historic PBY from WWII
as she sank three U boats including the first one sank by any PBY.

 

I am helping with the restoration and they are putting all of the original
equipment that she had including very early RADAR and comm gear. She used 9
of these headsets but we are happy with whatever we can get.

 

Photos of the headset attached and below.

 

Thanks for any help and leads,

 

Taigh
