Gang,
We did a preview opening of our WWII Tactical Communication Display last
Sunday to coincide with the InfoAge VJ-day observance. You can see a
few grab shots here: http://www.rtm.ar88.net/Tac_Comm/Tac_Comm.html
We intend to cover wire line and radio relay (ANTRAC) as well as the
usual radio stuff. There are a number of thing we're looking for.
We have the TX and RX for an AN/TRC-8 on display. Need an AS-52/TRC-8
antenna, just the corner reflectors, no room for the mast. Has anyone
held on to a CF-1 multiplexer to go with it? That's sure to be a heavy
beast. Closer to New Jersey is better. I guess I'd switch to AN/TRC-1
if one showed up.
SCR-508 Tank Radio: Need a mount. A proper tanker helmet would be a
good thing too.
One of the Jeep Radios SCR-509/510/609/610 and an SCR-300 walkie-talkie
would help complete the FM picture. (BTW, this is the site where
Armstrong demonstrated the regen receiver to David Sarnoff in 1914.)
Wire and Cable: Looking for some short sections of WWII field- and
assault-wire. Would also like to have samples of spiral-four cable to
compliment the ANTRAC.
SCR-694: Need a real BC-1306 rather than the ersatz RT-77/GRC-9 in the pix.
The crazy stuff: (People in Hell want ice water.) M-94 or M-209 cipher
devices.
Budget is limited, so don't expect to make a big score. We are a
501-C-3 corp. if the donation angle works for you.
Thanks in advance,
Al
