Well, I don't really count test sets as part of the installation, even 
though I collect them. I do not yet have the test set. Likewise, I do not 
have the test set for the SCR-518-A - but then, no one has ever *seen* 
the test set for an SCR-518-A.

"Complete" for me is what would have been found in the original 
installation - the main units, mounts, brackets, indicators, connectors, 
cables, antennae, and so forth. If a test set were more-or-less 
permanently part of an installation (for example, the ever present echo 
box in just about every shipboard radar installation), it would be included.

Speaking of SCR-518-As, I have an extra set that is *nearly* complete - it 
is only missing the junction box and the cable between the control box 
and the cable. Email me off list if anyone is interested.
