I have spent a few hours prowling around this well preserved plane. The 
ONLY thing I could find that was missing was the ARC 58 HF SSB and 
coupler. The mounts were still there. Perhaps some hams could install 
one and convince the museum to let them operate it occasion. The plane 
appears to have a 100% intact 28VDC system with plug for external 
power. Plenty of operating room inside this capacious fuelsage and 
cockpit. Interesting plane, 2 turbojets added late in its career to 
supplement the power of 4 each 4360-59B 28 cylinder radial engines.
