Like that title? ( heehee...)

I have for trade the following WW2 Navy avionics.

My possible wants:
I like mostly,  HF receivers and transceiving type things. I am
interested
in SRR-13 ( or whatever the HF SRR# is ),  FRR-??  ( land based
version of SRR-hf receiver, Hallicrafter SX-117, Patterson PR-15
or PR-12, Forest Service non-FM non-SPF equipment, Sony
multiband radio CRF-150 or CRF-160,  Coast Guard type things,
lifeboat trans-receiver,  something like that? Adjustments on either
side as required. I do not need more BC-312, BC-348, GRC-9,
TBY, TBX.
If it comes down to cash transaction instead, i will use auction
process
to set the price.

I have:

ATB   U.S. Navy aircraft transmitter, 50w class, 3 - 9 MHz,
2 channels switchable via control box, via 2 pretuned tuning
units. Kinda like a small version of ATD, which you have maybe
seen, as it's more common.
unissued condition, with RCA "ready for shipment" tag.
Possible several spare 815 valves.
With: used condition control box. Used condition meter box.
Possible inclusion of 185 volt husky transformer which will
voltage double to power ATB on A3 without flinching.
( This transmitter = mate to ARB receiver, used in some
PBY's, ASW blimps, and a few other planes. Built in much
lesser quantities - 4000 i think i read - than the  ARB, whose
production was something like 17000, maybe more. )

ZB-3 navigation adaptor for RU and ARB, with Pilot's
Control box, function relay switchbox, slipcover, small
wooden box with spare parts, and several "coding
sheets" for pilot noting YG frequencies for day's mission, all
unissued condition, ready to clamp onto your RU or ARB
receiver, prior to your next Pacific patrol.

ARR-1  NIB, no accessories.

Not commonly seen equipment, especially the ATB and
control box.
