[Milsurplus] GF-11/RU-16 Control box

That's right...for the RU-16/GF-11, the receiver control box is CW-23096A, and the transmitter control box is CW-23097, the crew extension control box is CW-23098, the receiver remote tuning head is CW-23012, the ANT-LOOP remote control is CW-23051, and the dual coil set remote control is CW-23054.

And they are the heart of the system, since every component ties together through the CW-62008A junction box.

RU/GF junction boxes are considerably easier to find than the equivalent junction box for the visually similar but electrically very different SCR-(*)-183 set.  The junction box was a standard part of the RU/GF set, but the SCR-183 system used the TM-(*)-172 junction box only if the airplane did not have an equivalent box built in.  I was very happy a few years ago to find in Fair Radio's new warehouse a NOS TM-AH-172 for my SCR-AS-183.  I was beginning to think their existence was mythological.

There's something appealing about these radio sets that were well obsolete before WWII began.
