[Milsurplus] UHF up in the air

I checked my 'stock': I have an O-423 (K-13) oscillator, R-508 (equiv. to
R-19: 118-148mc AM), and CV-431 (TV-10, in the ARC Type 12 milieu), all
with order # 19844-PP-58, so the 220mc up/down transverter was likely
airborne at least some short time before that.  In fact, the TM 11-525-10
manual I have is dated March, 1958, tho it has a note on page A of a
revision from 10 Aug 1956.

The other VHF stuff is probably not relevant to the subject at hand:  I
have another R-508 dated 31231-PHILA-55, an R-19 CAATC IR4-6 (what does
that mean?), an R-10A CAATC#1456, and a couple of T-363's (aka T-13): a NOS
CAATC IR4-5, and a re-paint oldie CAATC (unreadable).

Getting back to "lo-band" UHF, I have a couple of R-48 ground rcvrs, and a
T-30 tx minus it's p/s-mod unit (I've only known of one extant, and the
owner wanted more for it than I'm willing to give for such a heavy object,
considering the shipping cost).

I'm always in the market for ARC Type 12/ARC-60 stuff, esp. 12- and 19-pin
connectors and C-boxes, as long as you're not trying to retire on the
proceeds ...
