[Milsurplus] BC-650-A

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Mo0re specifically it's part of Instrument Equipment IE-16 used to work on 
the Mark II.  I have an Operator's Manual on the Mk II and IE-16 somewhere 
but it's misfiled and I couldn't locate it tonight.

Further on Mike's "not much in demand" comment, the few IFF collectors 
around probably already have everything and the aircraft restorers that might 
become interested in any Mk II components are seldom interested in support 
equipment that wasn't installed in the aircraft.
