Photos of my GN-44-A for the SCR-288 (BC-474).

Also photos of the correct issue antenna, counterpoise
and power cable.  Please note the canvas is not SCR-288; 
it's TRC-7.  I just use it because it "fits" and is a good way
to keep all the bits together.
If I ever find the rx battery door and the canvas, 
I'll have this set complete.

Note to any BC-474 owners:
There is an electrolytic cap 
in the B+ lead which filters the genny output and is in the 
T/R switch B+ contact circuit.  It charges up, and when you 
go to Transmit, it sparks and will eat-up the switch contact.
It's a design flaw.  I disconnected mine to prevent this.
