[Milsurplus] BC-611 vibrator supply?

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Sorry but no.  The SCR-593 Air Warning Receiver (BC-728-(*)) uses the 
VB-8-(*), same as PE-157-(*) uses for operation.  VB-8 (3H6708) is the same size as 
almost all of the rest of the WW-II and Korean War vintage vibrators (VB-16 and 
the two in the TBX-8 vibrator supply being the only exceptions I recall ever 
seeing, and they are much larger).  

Also, the BB-54 2.1 volt wet cell was used in several other sets besides the 
BC-728.
