[Boatanchors] WANTED: C-2198/MRC-35A

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Groups,

I was contacted by a gentleman looking for the subject item.  If anyone has 
one they would be willing to sell, or thinks they know someone who might 
have one, please contact me and I'll put you in touch.  The person looking is 
in Iceland.  If the person who has one doesn't want to deal with Customs 
forms & etc., I'll take care of that.

To maybe refresh someone's memory, AN/MRC-35 was one of those ad hoc sets 
built up around older equipment.  In this case, it consisted of AN/ART-13 and 
BC-348 (collectively AN/ARC-8), AN/ARC-27, this control box, a keyer, a 
cabinet for the radios, and an M38A1.  The person looking describes as being 
used by USMC, although I know there is a photo of it in the 1959 edition of TM 
11-487A.

C-2198 is a rectangular box.  There is a flange around the front panel, to 
mount it into the dash of the Jeep, to the right of the vehicle instruments. 
 In the center of the panel is a blast proof loudspeaker.  Controls and 
indicators are arranged around the speaker.  The audio connector is the typical 
Korean War vintage one, for things like Handset H-33(*)/PT.  I have a B&W 
photo I can send if anyone thinks they might have the remains of one.
