Have a complete SCR-183 including dyno and the unobtainium TM-172 junction 
box (someone sed always left on scrapped plane)

Junction box a doored flattie about 5" x 11" w. 5 cables out one 11" side, 
one out the other.  Single shielded cable out one 5" side.  Just says 
"Radio Junction box" inside, no TM-172

Also have 

  - radio control box BC-AR-231
  - radio control box BC-AR-232  (w. test key)
  - antenna switch relay BC-AR-408
  - radio filter FL-5F w. switchbox BC-345 (voice-range-both)

Got the whole magilla from a cagey OT ~1/85 & it "mighta been pulled from
a wrecked P26 ~1936."  Have been saving if for my own Boeing Peashooter 
but at age 61, I'm starting to lose hope

For completeness, my RX is a BC-429 & TX a BC-430.  WECo is builder.... and 
RX has remote tuning head (LF range & 3-5mcs HF - I think)

Let me know if any 'hook up data' wanted besides the now-accounted-for 
resistors in the dyno base.

Wouldn't u know I've lost the "Partial BC-229 manual repro" I got from Fair
~ 3/85.

   ....oops  Antenna Relay Unit CW-23049 for GF-11 (contr. 4/41) turned
       up in stash too
