[Milsurplus] Aircraft radios

[Lloyd KK7IZ]

This was the XB-15, 1934 vintage. I recognize some of the pieces but do not 
immediately id by number. The long tube coming down from ceiling with meter 
mounted to left of it is part of the DF system. The loop is just barely 
noticable in the exterior pix of the plane, plus the shadow of it confirms 
it.
