Electronics is intact. Snap-in retained alignment tool
(?) is missing. Schematic has pencilled notation,
"Modified in accordance with T.O. 134-44". Only
physical change i see is that the spec 50k grid
resistor of osc. 955 valve is changed to a modern,
smaller 50k resistor.
Battery box is pretty crusty. The alu chassis deck
between batt box and electronics side has lots of
crust on it - probably sandpaperable off. Two of
battery box walls also need to be sandpapered.
AND- the cover to the batt box has two holes
in it - i have to assume the battery material ate
thru here - amazing! One hole approx 3/8 inch
diameter, other hole about 1 x 1/4 inch. Could
be Bondo- filled and repainted.
Externally, other than this one cover side, the
thing actually looks good.
This is the vhf test oscillator for ZB navig.
adapter used with ARB and RU.
I probably want $20 total for it, including shipping,
which i guesstimate around $12, which leaves me
a couple bucks to make me feel better about
spending time packing. Or, if i owe you one,
you can call in a favor and have the thing for
shipping only, or maybe free. FOB 97365.

PS- can anyone translate the "AIR AS DEV
