[Milsurplus] TBM X-Band Radar

[ed sharpe]

looks like a  aps-4!  we have one in the museum but are lacking the control 
boxes... also have a few spare radar pods like the big  chingus thee 
stacked like cordwood in one of the warehouses.... do any one need one of 
these?

we display ours with the pod off....  the pod is white for ours though...

totally weird... bought a giant trailer  full of radar stuff along with a 
bunch of  navy radar components for ships we have not gone though... there 
are western electric power supplies and modulators that even 2 people have 
trouble budging...  I seem to remember 4 of us took it from the truck and 
put it on the dolly.

thee are also the scopes  from I think a mark 37 gun director or was that a 
mark ... that warehouse is foggy....We will be so happy to get a larger 
building!
