[Milsurplus] Old-Age Math and the SCR-183

Got the transmitter nomen wrong.
Matching parts for the SCR-183 is worlds
more challenging than doing so for the 
SCR-274N.  The older set was not valued
as it should have been, and a larger percentage
of the items have gone to grief.

Here's the "hodge-podge" set so far:

TX -AL
RX -AO
TX Cntl Box  -AN
RX Cntl Box  -AE 
         (not correct for this RX but usable).
Junction box  -AH 
Antenna switch  -AN
Dyno -AR

What a mess!  Eventually, I'd like to make it
all something early, like A.R.C. -AH
(have the transmitter) but we'll see as I go along.

Connectors I'd like to buy or trade for:

(2) PL-56
(2) PL-104
(1) PL-63
(1) PL-77
(1) PL-60
(2) PL-76

The receiver audio is quite impressive 
once you jumper-out the filter on the output.
Broader than broad, but that's OK with me.
If I want super-selectivity, I'll turn on a plastic radio.
With a "70-volt-line" transformer to match a speaker,
it has a lot more audio power than a BC-348.
