[Milsurplus] FT-164 crystal holder

Glen,

Also BC-329-A and BC-329-L (and presumably other models in between).  In 1937 
when the former model was built the crystal holder was referred to as a Navy 
type air-gap holder, so maybe the nomenclature hadn't been assigned yet.  The 
Navy type number appears to be CL-40024 & -A used in the TBX and presumably 
TBO.   But I haven't looked at the bottom of a TBX in a long time and mine are 
several miles away on the other side of Beltway 8.  The photos in the manuals 
are vertical shots and I can't confirm that the pins are offset from each other 
vertically.  But it looks like the same holder.  If so, it was probably used 
in other Navy pre-war shipboard sets as well.
