Something overlooked in this dialogue
of modified WWII gear, are the "professional modifications".
These usages probably rate just as much mention as amateur
usage.

Examples.

I have heard of the airlines rebuilding BC-348s into rack
panels, with AC supplies. Saw an ad once for a BC-348 so
rebuilt by Delta Airlines, I was too late to snag it.

I have an NAB (National Association of Broadcasters)Engineering
Handbook which has a chapter on converting an SCR-508 for use on the 26 
MC/s remote pickup frequencies.

SCR-269s being used on fishing boats for direction finding.

Any other examples of WWII surplus being used professionally?
