Hey Tim,
No, that PV-2 Harpoon is stripped out inside. Our first one we did has just about all of its WWII radio and radar gear back in place. The ARC-5, ARB’s and ART-13
are operational. The APS-3 radar should work once we build the harnesses for it. Lots of connectors and conduit to acquire unless anyone knows where we can find them.
Photos of the before and after work can be seen at the link below. This was an all-volunteer project.

GO-9 is in the lower left corner of the attached photo and an ARB on the right side of the radio operators shelf. The installation in this PBY had two ARB’s. One for the pilot as well which was mounted further forward and out of the picture. They called it the Intra Squadron set. The RU is still present at the radio station as well.
In doing the PBY research for this project it has been quite interesting to see all of the changes over time in comm and radar gear.

Wasn't the ARB used with the GO-9 in acft like the PBY?

I recall reading Mike Hanz commenting some years back that the ARB was intended as a drop-in replacement for the RU.
So wouldn't be too much of a fantasy to fabricate a ARB + GF, altho in real life, I don't think anyone ever saw such.
Same form factor, and so on.
That reminds me, some acquaintance of Geoff's bought something like a "State of Alaska" "portable set" with an ARB
and ( I think ) TA-12 in one wooden trunk.
