[Milsurplus] WWII Radar Scope?

[Peter Gottlieb]

I can't ID it but had one similar.  It ran off of 115 volts 60 Hz (which 
probably makes it a shipboard unit), same CRT, magnetic deflection, P7 phosphor, 
big brass gears with a gear extending off the top.  It had a ring of 
illuminsting bulbs around the outer edge of the CRT for an azimuth bezel.  I 
obviously didn't have the complete thing but did get it fired up.  I canabalized 
it at one point and got these really large and thin ball bearings out of it plus 
the gears which a lady down the street ended up using in a sculpture.
