Box is TM 180. Saw one listed and pictured at Fair Radio, ordered it, they couldnt find it and returned my money.
Not shown in ARN 7 or SCR 269 manuals, but has their kinds of connectors. Pic looked like it had one PL 122 and two each PL 116, PL 112.
Still looking for info on who made the commercial conversions of SCR 269 ADFs to have band 3 cover 2-3 MHz. Thanks to Jack Antonio I have one of the converted control boxes and it looks nearly stock military. Somebody expertly printed a new tuning dial scale and also a new panel scale indication next to the band 3 switch position on the control box.
I saw these ADFs in service on commercial fishing boats in the 1960s. They worked great on LF beacons, AM broadcast stations and AMmarine xmtrs on the 2-3 MHz band.
